Stovetop Chili-Spiced Popcorn
  1. 1

    Heat canola oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; add 1 popcorn kernel to the hot oil. The oil is ready when the kernel pops.

  2. 2

    Pour popcorn kernels into the hot oil; season with 1/2 of the popcorn salt. Stir to coat. Cover the pot with a sheet of aluminum foil. Use a knife to poke about 10 holes in the foil. Cook the popcorn until all kernels are popped, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the popcorn with the remaining popcorn salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chipotle chile pepper, and ancho chile pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
