10864 Spicy Cinnamon-Sugar Popcorn 10 mins 5 mins 6 to 8 servings Wed Jul 08 15:29:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 15:40:28 -0700 2009 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/10864 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:40:28 GMT With a little chile oil and cinnamon-sugar A little chile oil and cinnamon-sugar add flair to buttery popcorn. The chile oil in this recipe imparts only a slight spicy flavor. It combines nicely with the cinnamon-sugar and buttery popcorn, rendering the final result utterly irresistible. We recommend serving this alongside Black Sesame and Mustard Popcorn and Parmigiano–Black Pepper Popcorn.

What to buy: Look for hot chile oil in the Asian section of your supermarket. We like KA-ME brand.

We found that regular table salt works best on popcorn, because its fine grain adheres better to each kernel.

Special equipment: We tested this recipe with popcorn made in an air popper, which produced stellar results.

  • In a small bowl, stir together sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Using an air popper, pop corn kernels into a large bowl. While corn pops, combine butter and chile oil in a small bowl; stir well. As the large bowl begins to fill, alternately drizzle oil mixture over popcorn and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar, occasionally tossing to coat.
  • When popcorn stops popping, use your hands to toss everything together and ensure ingredients are evenly distributed. Serve immediately.
