In another bowl put out some plain flour.

Make your breadcrumb/sauce mix by combining approx. 75g breadcrumbs with 1/2 tsp each of paprika, garlic granules and onion granules.

Make your popcorn chicken by taking a small amount of meat, forming into a ball and then rolling in the flour, then egg and finally the breadcrumb mix.
