This popcorn chicken is sure to be loved by all.
How much of a Super Bowl fan are you? My hope is that you’ll at least be watching the game. Because today’s recipe, as well as tomorrow’s, is very much inspired by Sunday’s game. You’d think growing up with five brothers that I’d be more into football, but the truth is that I just never got into it. I love Sunday night football because I find it comforting to hear playing in the background, it always takes me back to being a kid. Other than that it’s just not really my thing…that said I also never watch TV. Maybe I just need to give it another try?
Either way, my brothers, of course, love all things football. Same with my dad. They’re all in fantasy leagues and watch every Sunday (Monday and Thursday too). But most importantly…they live for game day food. But then…don’t we all?
And that’s where today’s recipe comes into play. I knew I needed to create a few good recipes for everyone to enjoy this Sunday. But I also wanted them to be recipes that can be enjoyed throughout the week, on any given day. Enter in this popcorn chicken. Baked, not fried, and seasoned heavily with homemade cajun seasoning.
Nothing is better than this oven fried cajun popcorn chicken. Ok, that’s too dramatic, but this recipe really is delicious. And if you love a healthier take on “bar” food you have to give this popcorn chicken a try.
Here is how you make this chicken…
I’ve made popcorn chicken before, so I had my basic breading formula down. Therefore throwing this recipe together was easy.
To start, I made my homemade cajun seasoning blend from the HBH Super Simple cookbook but added additional chili powder for a touch more spice. You can use this homemade blend or you can use your favorite store-bought cajun seasoning blend (I love this one from McCormick).
Next, bread the chicken. Toss the chicken in a little buttermilk, then coat it in finely crushed corn flakes seasoned with a good amount of cajun seasoning. The finely crushed corn flakes are KEY. They really give the chicken an authentic “fried” taste and texture, without actually frying the chicken. I’ve used this method for years and it never fails.
Tip? Pulse the corn flakes in the food processor to really break them down into a fine crumb.
Next, bake the chicken in the oven until it crisps all over. My secret is to gently dab/brush the chicken with olive oil before it bakes. This helps the coating to really crisp up nicely in the oven. You can’t skip this step, it’s crucial.
Now, on to the sauce.
You can’t have oven fried chicken without sauce. Always need the sauce. Always.
I went back and forth on three variations of this sauce. But after multiple text messages with my eldest brother, Creighton, who LOVES popcorn chicken more than anyone AND loves spicy cajun more than anyone, I landed on a creamier honey mustard sauce. He said it was a no brainer, creamy always wins.
While the chicken is baking, make the sauce. This sauce is hands down a new favorite. For one, it’s EASY. Just mix, stir, and done. It’s made using creamy sour cream, honey, mustard, more of that cajun seasoning, and just a touch of lemon. It’s extra creamy, a touch sweet, and a touch spicy. So perfect as a side with this chicken. The creaminess in the sauce makes everything heartier, but the sweetness balances out the spice.
Here is what I will note, I used sour cream, which I only recently started to use. Typically, I always use Greek yogurt in sauces. But when I was making this dish I decided I wanted to try something different. Once I used real sour cream I was hooked. It makes a really GOOD sauce. However, I did make the same sauce with Greek yogurt and found it to be creamy and delicious as well.
Another note, the sour cream (or yogurt) adds a slight tanginess, if you want something more mellow, I would suggest using mayo. I’m personally not big on mayo, but I’m sure it would be great in this sauce.
Since Creighton helped me so much with putting this recipe together, I had to send him a few pics for his seal of approval. Sadly, he’s not in town right now to actually try the chicken, but he’ll be home soon, so I will be remaking.
His response…well it made my Monday…
“That looks fire! I like how u sprinkled some sauce over top of the chicken already. To wet the appetite. Nice move.”
Got to love him. He’s always got something funny to say.
Point? This popcorn chicken is so very good. The seasoning is KEY. The sauce is KEY. I’d recommend serving with home-baked french fries and plenty of veggies on the side. Great for a weeknight, fun for game day, either way, these will be a hit!

this looks delicious! considering making these for Sunday, but curious about how spicy they are. I am fine with it but I have friends who really can’t handle spice.
Hi Lew! These do have a kick! Try only using 1 tbs of cajun seasoning for the chicken and 2 teaspoons in the sauce. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
A GREAT recipe for the game this weekend. I’m from Kansas City, so we are “super” pumped about the Super Bowl this year. Go Chiefs!!
Yes!! I hope this turns out amazing for you Linger! Thank you! xTieghan
Yum! Planning out my menu for Sunday as we speak so this is perfect timing, Tieghan! Looking forward to what else you come up with for the big day!
Thank you Sydney! xTieghan
Oh, this looks so good! Definitely gonna give it a try and consider it for Sunday. Last year, I made the chicken wings with the hot honey for our Super Bowl party and they were so so good! So I guess this must also be a hit. Thanks for all the great recipes! Greetings from Germany!
Hi Stephanie! Thank you so much! I hope you love this recipe when you get a chance to try it! xTieghan
We have been look8ng for a Super Bowl dish. Yumm. We are from California and huge 49er fans. Can’t leave the TV to cook. Could this be prepped ahead of time and baked during the game? Or completely cooked earlier and warmed? We love all of your recipes. I am cooking one tonight. Sage lemon butter chicken. My absolute favorite. ?
Hi Marcia! Yes, you can prep ahead and bake while the game is one or you can precook, then warm when ready to eat. Honestly, either works great! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
Your brother is so right about the drizzle!
I’ve got some of your HBH Super Simple Cajun seasoning blend made in a jar, so I’m halfway there already. Xx
Yes so amazing! I hope you love this recipe, Kelly!! xTieghan
Can panko be used instead of corn flakes?
Hi Anne, yes panko should be fine. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
Tieghan, my wife stumbled upon your recipe for ginger peanut chicken noodle soup last December and since then I have made a boatload of your recipes, many of them multiple times, and they have all turned out amazing. So I thought it was finally time to reach out and let you know how much we love your site. Made the 30 min co coq vin last night and it was also excellent. We now have your books and will continue to follow your site. Keep up the good work!
Bon appetie,
Drew
Aw this is so great to read! Thank you so much for continuing to try my recipes, I am so glad you have loved them! What have you made from the book? If any haha. xTieghan
These look soooo good. I can’t do dairy – could you sub egg for the buttermilk? Or anything else?
Thanks!
Hi there! Yes, you can use a beaten egg. That works great! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
I made these tonic and they were incredible, really amazing especially because I am gf and never find any chicken nugget recipes which come close to the real deal. I used gf flour of course :):) Thank you!!
I am so glad this recipe turned out so well for you Barbie! Thank you so much! xTieghan
LOVE this chicken. Made it tonight, couldn’t stop thinking about it all day after seeing the recipe this morning, and it did not disappoint!! The chicken was delicious, well seasoned with a crispy outside, super moist within. And the sauce, I mean the SAUCE… the sauce is ridiculous, so wonderfully creamy, tangy, and spicy. I used creme fraiche in place of sour cream, as I had it in the fridge. It was truly luscious. This is definitely a keeper. Will make it again for sure! Thank you for the fantastic recipes 🙂
YES!! I am really glad you enjoyed this recipe Kristen! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Could you use an air fryer for this?
Hi MJ! I am imagine this chicken would be good in the air fryer, but I have not tested it out personally! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
Hi! These look so good! Do you think the recipe would still work if I substituted cauliflower instead of chicken? I might still make the chicken for my boyfriend but was wondering if it would work the same to use cauliflower for myself?
Hi Ashley! I am sure cauliflower will be amazing. Love that idea!! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
I have an olive oil sprayer (Misto I think) would that work instead of dabbing the chicken or so you think it would be too much?
Hi Bob! Your olive oil mister will work great! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
Can’t wait to try these but hate the thought of buying corn flakes as I would not use them for anything else. Whole grain flaked cereal or panko?
Hi Marie! I would recommend using panko. I think that will be great! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
I made these tonight for my family and they were a hit! So good.
Thank you so much! xTieghan
Ran home to make these tonight because I knew the Boyf would like them. I loved them too!! Will definitely make again. I didn’t love the honey mustard dip, but the chicken was glorious.
Thank you so much Alexa! So glad to hear that! xTieghan
I can’t wait to try this Monday! Could I substitute almond flour for regular flour? And if so how much would I need?
Hey Sara! Almond flour will be great. Use an equal amount. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan! I just made these exactly per the recipe… They are cooling on the stove top… My husband walks in and tries one. Or two. Or three. Or a fourth of the pan. “Mmmm What have you done?” He says. “So good. So many flavors.” I tell him to try with the sauce. “Mmmmm.” Thanks. This one is def a keeper ???
Haha wow! I am so glad you both loved these Cindy!! Thank you! xTieghan

Thank you so much Esther!! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
This is simply delicious. Easy to put together and WOW the heat to the sauce is spectacular. I’m going to try shrimp next time & substitute unsweetened coconut for the cheddar cheese. Will most definitely make again & again
YES! I am so happy to hear that! Thank you Hay! xTieghan
Do you think this would work with gluten free Chex mix? I can’t have corn.
Thanks!

Loved this recipe! My grocery store didn’t have buttermilk so I used sour cream to coat the chicken and it worked well. Delicious!
Perfect! I am so glad this turned out so well for you Morgan! xTieghan
Amazing and so good thank you for the recipe. Great hit for Super Bowl my family loved them!
These were AMAZING! And our three kids loved them. Will definitely be making again!

These were a big hit!! Super easy and a healthy yet still delicious alternative to fried chicken. Made the sauce with Greek yogurt and was still amazing!
I am so happy to hear that this turned out so well for you! Thank you so much Lauren! xTieghan
Hi Teighan! Loyal follower, first-time commenter. These are so freaking easy to make and taste AWESOME. I saved time and didn’t make the sauce but I’m sure it is phenomenal.
I just want to say that I LOVE your recipes. I recommend you to anyone who listens! I’m 25 and feel like many people who post recipes often make dishes the end up tasting way too strong or come out tasting like it should’ve had half the amount of that one ingredient. Nothing is more disappointed than making a whole new recipe to end up not wanting to eat it. But Teighan – YOUR recipes are SPOT ON. EVERY. TIME. I bought your cookbook, have tried a variety of your creations (love me some thai noods and Halloween cookies) and am having a lot of fun cooking. Keep going girl! Love what you’re doing AND totally love your website (the recipe search box is everything) XOXO
Haha wow this is so amazing to hear! Thank you so much for trying all of my recipes and continuing to!! Thank you Clare! xTieghan
Can I soak the chicken in the buttermilk longer? Will this affect anything positivity or will there be no real difference? Thanks!! Can’t wait to make this tonight!!
Hey Sarah! Soaking the chicken will not make any really difference, so just do what works best for you. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
Omg!!!!! These little guys pack so much flavor!! I made them for the Super Bowl and since I had buttermilk left over, I decided to get more chicken to make more today. These are perfect as a snack or even to add to a salad for lunch.
Soooo good and easy to make!
I honestly have not made one recipe I haven’t liked of yours! They are all incredible! I’ve found I’m cooking more often (always your recipes) and really enjoying it.
Thank you so much Meghan!! I am so glad these turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Hi! All your recipes look awesome. Excited to try this! I was wondering if I could prepare completely ahead and then freeze until ready to bake? Love your website ! Xx
Hi Paula! Yes, you can prepare ahead, freeze, then bake! That works so well! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
This was so yummy, I think my favourite of your breaded chicken recipes so far 🙂 But the sauce was really liquid, even though I used super thick & creamy yogurt, is this how it turns out for you or any ideas of how to thicken it?
Hey Sarah! The sauce should not be very liquidy. How big was you lemon? Try using a little less lemon juice and only 1 tablespoon oil. I think that should help to thicken the sauce. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I am so glad you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
this came out flavorful but a bit dry for me – any tips? I followed the baking to a tee I believe! I also used cornflakes (not panko). However, I did use a pam spray instead of olive oil (didn’t have a brush!)
HI! Try baking a fee minutes less and then try drizzling the chicken with olive oil instead of spraying the chicken. I think this will all help. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you!! xTieghan
Super easy, supper yummy, going in my recipe book with a page protector, lol.
Love that! I am so glad this turned out so well for you Brianne! xTieghan
Another fantastic recipe! I had to sub some panko since I was low on cornflakes, but it worked great! Thanks Tieghan!
Thank you so much Maya! xTieghan
Excited to try these! I don’t have buttermilk on hand currently, would a sub of milk and vinegar work? Or possibly heavy cream which I do have…
Thanks!
Hi Lacie,
Heavy cream would be great! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any additional questions! xTieghan
These came out fabulous!!
I am trying to make them again but I do not have buttermilk. Do you know of a good substitute?
Hi Nicole! You can use a half and half mixture of yogurt and milk, if you have it! Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Hi Tieghan! The flavors in this were SO delicious, I’m curious though, should I have been expecting a crunchy finish or more of a breading finish? I followed the recipe to the T, but mine came out a bit mushy and not so much crispy, I even put them under the broiler to see if I could get a crispier coating.. could my brand of cornflakes really throw it off like that? Thanks so much! I’ll be making these again of course but just trying to perfect them on my end.
This recipe is amazing and is the first recipe I have made from HBH. I will definitely be returning to this site to make and try out new dishes!
Thank you so much Sarah! xTieghan
These are completely and totally UNREAL! Perfectly crispy and the sauce is just perfect! I am so in love with all your recipes it just never fails! Thank you for being you!
Thank you for trying this and other recipes of mine Lauren! I hope you continue to enjoy my site!! xTieghan
I just made this for my husband and I, and we LOVED it! I used an egg instead of buttermilk, and it still turned out great. Instead of cooking in the oven, I used my air fryer at 400 for 15 minutes and they came out juicy and crispy- totally perfect. Will definitely make again 🙂
Love that! Thank you so much Caroline! xTieghan
These are delicious! The chicken is great, but the honey mustard MAKES this recipe. The perfect consistency and amount of zesty-ness. Recommend!
Hey Gracie,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
We had these for dinner tonight with the homemade honey mustard and it was delicious!! Followed the directions as written, it was so easy and such a good weeknight meal. My husband loved this too. I highly recommend this!
Hey Jill,
Thanks so much for trying the recipe. I am so glad you enjoyed! xTieghan
Hi! These look delicious! Can you omit the cheese or use something else (non-dairy) as a substitute?
Hey Michelle,
You could omit the cheese. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
These look amazing! Would a dairy-free alternative work in place of buttermilk?
Hey Laura,
Yes, you could use a dairy free milk. I hope you enjoy the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This looks so good. I would like to try this recipe, any idea what I can substitute for the cheese?
Hey Cindy,
You could omit the cheese. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
How do you get the chicken to stop sticking to the baking sheet and having the breading fall off? I’ve tried foil with Pam spray. I’ve also tried using a wire rack. But it tends to still stick.
Hey Elizabeth,
So sorry you are having issues with this. I find parchment paper works the best. I hope this helps! xTieghan
So good!! Nice and crispy without having to make the mess (and calories) of frying. Followed the recipe for the chicken and had extra chick-fil-a sauce on hand so dipped in that – amazing. Great football eats!
Hey Anna,
I am so glad this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for giving it a try! Have the best week. xTieghan
I made this last night and it was SO good!
Hey Susan,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! xTieghan
This was SO good! I didn’t make the sauce. I pretty much ate the chicken right off the plate. I air fried for about 6 minutes. Crispy. Spicy. Delicious!
Hey Melissa,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for trying it out!! xTieghan
Yum!! Any replacement for buttermilk? I need this in my life ASAP, but don’t have buttermilk in hand!
Hey Monica,
Whole milk would also work. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Delicious! Once I got started it didn’t take long to make and everyone went back for seconds.
Hey Leslie,
I am so thrilled that you have enjoyed this recipe! Thanks so much for making it:) xTieghan
Hello Tieghan!
Question: do you use liquid buttermilk for the recipe, or can I use cultured buttermilk blend?
Thanks!
Hey Martha,
I would recommend using liquid buttermilk. I hope you love the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
I just made this for a weeknight dinner, and oh my goodness, is this OUTSTANDING! Not only was it easy to make and execute, but it also tastes delicious! My husband and I are scarfing it down now. I am also a huge honey mustard fan (and mustard in general!), so the sauce really compliments the chicken. This is so incredibly satisfying! YUM! Thank you for all of your amazing recipes! We couldn’t wait to try this one!
Hey Ashley,
I am so so glad that you liked the recipe, thanks a lot for making it! Happy Friday:) xTieghan
Made this recipe last night and wow!! It’s delicious. So crunchy! And that sauce is so good and perfect.
It was approved by kids also. Will definitely be part of our rotation
Thank you
Hey Sandra,
Thanks so much for making the recipe, I am delighted it was enjoyed! Have a great weekend:) xTieghan
Another winner – these were juicy, crunchy and delicious. Way better than fast food popcorn chicken. I put them in the aircrisper for about 13 minutes and they were perfect.
Hey Maeve,
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks a lot for giving it a try and happy Sunday! xTieghan
Could you substitute boneless chicken thighs for the breasts. With Covid lockdown limited to what I have as we don’t shop if we don’t have to. Thanks
Hey Janice,
Absolutely, boneless thighs would work well here! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Can I use milk or yogurt instead of buttermilk?
Hey Miriam,
Yes, whole milk will work just fine here. I hope you love the recipe, let me know how it turns out! xTieghan
I made these tonight. Loved the sauce, but the chicken was very salty, difficult to eat – probably because Cajun seasoning is very salty. I think cooking any more than 15 minutes was another problem. I cooked them for 20 minutes because I wanted them a little darker, but the chicken was too dry.
Hey Jim,
Sorry you had issues with the recipe, let me know if I can help in anyway! xTieghan
Superb!!! These really hit the spot for a crunchy, spicy treat!! And so quick easy which always makes it taste better when you’re feeding a hungry crew!!
Hey Kim,
I am thrilled this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
Hi! Love everything you do! Silly cornflake question. 2 cups FINELY CRUSHED or 2 cups right out of the box?
Hey Christine,
2 cups out of the box:) I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
This recipe is AMAZING! I made it this past Super Bowl Sunday and it came out perfect, including the sauce. This will now become a regular for us on “game days” for all sports. Thanks Tieghan, you rock!
Hey Michelle,
I am delighted you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
So delicious and flavourful! And the honey mustard sauce is the perfect accompaniment! Will try in the Air fryer next! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Linda,
I am thrilled you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for giving it a try! xTieghan
You always have great recipes! I soaked the diced chicken pieces with the 1/2 cup buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of the Cajun spice overnight for extra Cajun flavor.
Hey Kevin,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! Happy Valentine’s Day❤️ xTieghan
This was delicious! Easy to make too! Ingredients you have laying around the house 🙂 yummy! The family loved it

This is my 5th recipe from HBH and I have not been disappointed! This meal was a quick make to packed with flavor.
Hey Hannah,
I am so glad you have enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for making it! Have a great week! xTieghan
Have made these twice and they are absolutely delicious! And so easy to make 🙂 I used almond milk instead of buttermilk for a healthier option, and gluten free corn flakes.
I didn’t like the flavour of the sauce, but we just had with ketchup and bbq. Highly recommended!!!
Hey Tamara,
Thank you so much for giving the recipe a go! I am thrilled it was enjoyed. xTieghan
Just made this for dinner! Turned out delicious, thank you!
Hey Isabel,
I am delighted that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for making it! ☘️ xTieghan
This was Unreal!! Honestly tasted like chickfila and the sauce was like chickfila sauce. Wish I could post a pic of it, looked exactly like the pic
Hey Izzah,
Thanks so much for giving this recipe a try, I am so glad that it was enjoyed! Have a great week:) xTieghan
The breading was so salty, almost inedible. If we scraped it off the chicken, it was fine. Used a store bought cajun seasoning and did not add additional salt to the mixture. The chicken was very pale in color, definitely did not look like the photos. Also, the sauce was a fail. Went straight down the drain. I used a honey infused with chiles, thought the extra kick would be good but did not work with this. The extra virgin olive oil taste was too much. I was so excited about this recipe, total bummer. 😩
Hey Jess,
So sorry to hear you did not enjoy this recipe, unfortunately it sounds like you made quite a few substitutes, next time I would stick with the recipe as is for best results:) xTieghan
Made these for dinner tonight. Sad to say I didn’t do the sauce because I was in a rush. I also had to sub the flakes for Panko bread crumbs. Turned out fantastic!! My husband kept raving how good they were. I may never go to chick fil a ever again. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!!
Hey Tiffany,
Fantastic!! I am thrilled that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for making it! Happy Friday:) xTieghan
Super delish! Love the cheese on the chicken and the honey mustard sauce was pure perfection! Winner winner chicken dinner!!
Hey Sharon,
Happy Monday! I am so glad this recipe was enjoyed, thanks a bunch for making it! xTieghan
