Spicy Chicken Pretzel Twists: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough
– ½ cup baking soda
– 4 cups water
– 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
– Coarse sea salt for topping


Instructions

Creating delicious Spicy Chicken Pretzel Twists can be easy if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. Shred Chicken: Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks and set it aside.
4. Prepare Dough: Open the package of refrigerated pizza dough and divide it into equal pieces (about 12 pieces).
5. Boil Water: In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then add ½ cup of baking soda carefully (it will bubble).
6. Shape Twists: Roll each piece of dough into a long rope, then wrap it around a portion of the shredded chicken, forming a twist.
7. Boil Twists: Carefully lower each twist into the boiling baking soda water for about 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the twists with the beaten egg and sprinkle sea salt on top.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Cool Before Serving: Allow the twists to cool slightly before serving to protect those delightful flavors.
