Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder, as desired
  • 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn (not microwave popcorn)

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    In 4-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Stir in sugar and chili powder. Add popcorn, and shake to coat popcorn evenly.
  • Step 
    2
    Cover pan, and start shaking back and forth. Keep shaking to prevent popcorn and sugar from burning. After a few minutes, you will hear the popcorn start to pop. Keep shaking until the popping has slowed to once every 2 to 3 seconds. Remove from heat, and immediately pour into large bowl. Cool, stirring occasionally to break up clumps. Serve warm.
