For a richer flavor, try using coconut oil instead of canola oil. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spiciness level. Store any leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat canola oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. (1 minute)
02
StepAdd 1-2 popcorn kernels to the hot oil. When the kernel pops, the oil is ready. (1-2 minutes)
03
StepPour the remaining popcorn kernels into the pot, ensuring they form a single layer. Season with half of the popcorn salt. Stir to coat the kernels evenly. (1 minute)
04
StepCover the pot tightly with a sheet of aluminum foil. Use a knife to poke about 10 small holes into the foil to allow steam to escape. (2 minutes)
05
StepCook the popcorn over medium-high heat until the popping slows to approximately 2-3 seconds between pops. This usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
06
StepIn a small bowl, combine the remaining popcorn salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chipotle chile pepper, and ancho chile pepper.
07
StepSprinkle the seasoning mixture over the hot popcorn. Toss thoroughly to ensure even coating. Serve immediately and enjoy!
