How To Make popeyes naked chicken clone

Step 1

Mix batter ingredients in medium bowl

Step 2

Drop in the chicken. Stir with hand so that all strips are evenly coated.
Step 3

Wait about 5-10 minutes for chicken to absorb the water, pulling the batter tightly into its pores.
Step 4

Deep Fry at 375 until golden brown
Step 5

Remove and let sit for 3 minutes to allow internal moisture to "uncrisp" the batter coating
Step 6

Fry again for 1 minute to vaporize said moisture
