Due to the recent surge in Covid cases, we are once again locked down at home. Several states have imposed lockdowns, night curfews etc to stop people from stepping out unnecessarily and curb the spread. This emergency situation has affected most of us emotionally; this is why it is important to keep ourselves entertained and cheerful while staying at home. Last year (during the 2020 lockdown), we saw cooking as one of the major modes of entertainment for all. People experimented and went creative with various recipes. And some of those recipes like dalgona coffee, banana bread and pancake cereal went viral too.
During our research for such unique recipes, we came across popcorn chicken cupcakes. Yes, you heard us. It is a savoury dessert made with crispy chicken popcorns. Fast-food chain KFC unveiled this recipe on their KFC Australia YouTube channel. Baker Morgan Hipworth, from Melbourne, created this original recipe with KFC popcorns, potato and gravy, cornmeal, plain flour, baking powder, canned creamed corn, eggs and milk. For the unversed, 20-year-old Morgan Hipworth is a celebrity chef-turned-entrepreneur and founder of Bistro Morgan, who created a million-dollar empire at just 19.
