About Popcorn Chicken Recipe
Popcorn chicken is made with bite-sized pieces of chicken that have been breaded and fried. The chicken is in the size of popcorn which indicates the name. The idea was originally developed by KFC but has since spread.
I thank one of my viewer for asking this recipe to make. If not I must have not done it. It turned out so crispy and juicy and moist and fluffy and crunchy and so on.
Don’t know how to explain the end result, it was so good. I didn’t except the result to be this good. And this is one of the best fried chicken I have ever tasted.
