Homemade Chili Seasoning Popcorn image

Popcorn as good as the theater's, with a kick! Salty, spicy and a little smoky. All you need is a large pot or metal bowl. I use a large 2 gallon metal bowl. Omit the chili powders if you don't like it spicy.

Tips

  • Choosing the Perfect Popcorn: Opt for a high-quality, non-GMO popcorn that pops up big and fluffy. Avoid pre-seasoned or flavored popcorn, as they may interfere with the homemade chili seasoning.
  • Measuring the Chili Seasoning: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure the chili seasoning ingredients. This ensures consistent flavor and prevents overpowering the popcorn with too much spice.
  • Mixing the Chili Seasoning: Combine all the chili seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Ensure the spices and salt are evenly distributed.
  • Preparing the Popcorn: Follow the instructions on your popcorn popper or microwave popcorn bag to pop the popcorn. Alternatively, you can make popcorn on the stovetop using a large pot and a little oil.
  • Applying the Chili Seasoning: Once the popcorn is popped, immediately sprinkle the chili seasoning mixture over it while it's still hot. Toss the popcorn gently to distribute the seasoning evenly.
  • Adding Extra Toppings (Optional): For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding grated Parmesan cheese, chopped cilantro, or a drizzle of lime juice to the chili popcorn.
