Popeyes 1Pc Leg Kid’s Meal Recipe
Ingredients for the 1 Pc Leg (Fried Chicken Leg):
For the Chicken Leg:
- 1 chicken leg (drumstick)
- 1 cup buttermilk (for marinating)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or oregano (optional)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or peanut oil works best)
For the Side (Optional Fries or Mashed Potatoes):
For Fries:
- 2 large potatoes, cut into fries
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- Salt to taste
For Mashed Potatoes:
- 2 large potatoes
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions for the Fried Chicken Leg:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, add the chicken leg and cover it with buttermilk. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight (the longer, the better for flavor).
- Prepare the Coating:
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and dried herbs. Mix everything well.
- Dredge the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and coat it thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture. Press the flour into the chicken for an even coating. If you want extra crispy chicken, dip the chicken back into the buttermilk and coat it in the flour mixture again.
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat about 2-3 inches of oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Chicken:
- Carefully lower the coated chicken leg into the hot oil and fry it for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Drain and Serve:
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Instructions for the Side (Fries or Mashed Potatoes):
For Fries:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes (this helps make them crispy).
- Fry the Fries:
- Heat oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
For Mashed Potatoes:
- Boil the Potatoes:
- Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Mash the Potatoes:
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash with butter and milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assembling the Meal:
- Place the fried chicken leg on a plate, along with a side of crispy fries or creamy mashed potatoes.
- You can also add a drink (like a soft drink or juice) to complete the meal.
Are Popeyes 1Pc Leg Kid’s Meal gluten-free?
No, the Popeyes 1 Pc Leg Kid’s Meal is not gluten-free. Here’s why:
- The chicken leg: The chicken tenders or pieces (including the leg) are typically battered and fried in a flour-based coating that contains gluten. Popeyes uses wheat flour to bread the chicken, so it is not suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
- The sides: Most of the sides, like fries or mashed potatoes, are also not guaranteed to be gluten-free due to the risk of cross-contamination in the kitchen or shared fryers. The fries, while typically made from potatoes, may be cooked in the same oil as breaded items, which could contain gluten.
