Popeyes Chicken Tenders Recipe

½ kg Chicken Breast

Buttermilk

Canola Oil

Eggs

Flour

Smoked Paprika

Garlic Powder

Salt

Marinade the chicken strips with wet elements like buttermilk, eggs, and hot sauce. Keep it aside for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, dredge the chicken strips with flour and spice mixture.

Without crowding the pan, fry the batches separately until they are golden.

Popeye’s Red Beans &amp; Rice is one of my favorite take-out side dishes and making it at home is SO SIMPLE!!!! Creamy red beans with a slightly smoky flavor topped with fluffy white rice – the perfect side!

Copycat Popeye's Red Beans and Rice

red beans

water

onion powder

salt

tsp liquid smoke

tbsp bacon fat

rice

Start the rice. I’m using Uncle Bens Converted White Rice. Boil 1.5 cups water, 1/2 cup rice, 1 Tbsp butter. Once boiling, turn heat to low for 20 minutes. 

Pour 2 cans of beans (juice and all) into a large saucepan. Add water, onion powder, garlic powder, hot sauce, salt, liquid smoke and bacon fat.

Use a potato masher partially mash the beans and ingredients together. Don’t mash them all – you still want some chunks of bean.

Cook slowly over medium heat until thick and water is evaporated – about 15 minutes. Stir frequently so beans don’t stick.

When rice is done, remove from heat and let sit for five minutes to fluff up and absorb remaining water.

Once the beans and rice are done cooking, remove them both from the heat.

To stay authentic to Popeyes, serve the rice over the bean mixture

Thanks for the recipe! Popeyes’ spicy chicken po’ boy has always been my favorite fast food chicken sandwich, and I was very upset when they removed it from their menu when they introduced the new sandwiches. I’m not sure why they had to replace them rather than just add another option. I tried the new sandwich once, and never will get it again. It was just a generic fast food chicken sandwich, same as any chicken sandwich at any fast food place. The po’ boy tasted so much better and was more unique. I am going to be making these at home weekly from now on! Thanks!
