Popeyes 1Pc Tender Kid’s Meal Recipe
Ingredients for the Popeyes-Inspired 1 Pc Tender:
For the Chicken Tender:
- 1 chicken tender (or chicken breast cut into strips)
- 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 a little heat)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or oregano (optional)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or peanut oil)
For the Side (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 Chicken Tender:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, add the chicken tender and cover it with buttermilk. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to overnight. This helps keep the chicken tender and juicy.
- 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 to ensure an even coating. For extra crispiness, you can dip the chicken back into the buttermilk and coat it in the flour again.
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). There should be enough oil to fully submerge the chicken tender.
- Fry the Chicken:
- Carefully lower the coated chicken tender into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it’s cooked through.
- Drain and Serve:
- Once the chicken is crispy and cooked through, remove it from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any 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 to help 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.
Are 1Pc Tender Kid’s Meal gluten-free?
No, the Popeyes 1 Pc Tender Kid’s Meal is not gluten-free. Here’s why:
- The chicken tender: The chicken tenders are breaded with wheat flour and fried, which contains gluten. So, the chicken is not suitable for people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
- The sides: The fries, though made from potatoes, are typically cooked in the same oil as breaded items, which can lead to cross-contamination with gluten.
