How to Make Spicy Popcorn Like a Pro

Follow these simple steps to craft your own spicy popcorn masterpiece:

1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the popcorn kernels. Cover and wait for kernels to pop, shaking the pot occasionally for even popping.
2. While the popcorn pops, melt the butter in a small saucepan or in your [KitchenAid Classic Iconic Stand Mixer](https://amzn.to/4efLxec) if you prefer a hands-free approach.
3. Mix the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt into the melted butter for a fiery seasoning blend.
4. Once the popcorn is fully popped, pour the spicy butter mixture over the popcorn and toss gently to coat evenly.
5. If you like extra heat, drizzle some hot sauce or sriracha and stir again.
6. For an extra crispy texture, spread the coated popcorn on a baking sheet and roast it in your oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, use an [Ninja Mega Kitchen Power System](https://amzn.to/3FHdkaF) to give it a quick crispy roast.
