Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Pot: Heat a large pot over medium heat and add vegetable oil to cover the bottom. Test readiness by dropping in a few kernels; they should pop.
- 2. Pop That Corn: Add popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover with a lid slightly ajar to let steam escape. Shake occasionally until popping slows down, about 3-5 minutes.
- 3. Prepare Your Flavoring: While the corn pops, melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Mix in garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, and salt.
- 4. Combine Everything: Once popped, transfer popcorn to a large bowl and drizzle the melted spice-butter mixture over it while tossing gently to coat evenly.
- 5. Final Touches: Taste-test a kernel! Adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or spices according to preference.
- 6. Serve & Enjoy: Transfer Bat Wing Popcorn into smaller bowls or serve straight from the mixing bowl with plenty of napkins for easy munching!
