    Mix garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Divide the mixture into 2 parts (one for marinade, the other for breading). If you want it spicier, replace part of the black pepper with cayenne pepper.

    1. Garlic powder: 2 tablespoons
    2. Ground black pepper: 1 tablespoon
    3. Sweet paprika: 1 tablespoon

    Cut the fillet into pieces approximately 1.5 x 2 cm. In a deep bowl, mix 1 part of the mixture with the chopped fillet, season with salt to taste, mix well, and refrigerate for half an hour to an hour.

    Required ingredients:
    1. Chicken breast fillet: 500 g
    2. Garlic powder: 2 tablespoons
    3. Salt:  to taste

    In a larger bowl, mix the second part of the mixture with flour and season with salt to taste, so the breading isn't bland.

    Required ingredients:
    1. Cornmeal: 300 g
    2. Salt:  to taste

    Take the chicken out of the fridge, coat it in flour, then dip it in yogurt. Then coat it in flour again. Next, place the pieces on a rack to dry slightly for 10-15 minutes.

    Required ingredients:
    1. Chicken breast fillet: 500 g
    2. Cornmeal: 300 g
    3. Plain (natural) yoghurt: 300 g

    Pour 2.5-3 cm of vegetable oil into a thick-bottomed pot, place it over medium-low heat and heat the oil. Add the pieces to the oil; they should simmer but not boil vigorously. Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. If they fry too quickly, your oil is overheated; lower the heat further. Fry in batches to ensure the pieces float freely in the oil and do not stick together.

    Required ingredients:
    1. Sunflower oil:  to taste

    Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel to drain excess oil. Can be served immediately. The popcorn is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Enjoy your meal!
