Method of preparing the popcorn chicken:
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the chopped chicken pieces, minced garlic, 1 tsp. of salt, and 1 tsp. of black pepper. Set aside.

In a food processor bowl, add the cornflakes, Parmesan cheese, the remaining salt and pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Process until the cornflakes are broken down into a fine crumble (but not powdery). Place the mixture into a medium-sized bowl and set aside.

Pour the flour into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces to the bag and toss until evenly coated in flour.
-
Place the flour-coated chicken into a medium-sized bowl. Drizzle with the buttermilk, and toss to coat.

Bake for roughly 20 minutes, or until the chicken has turned brown and crispy.
