About Popcorn Chicken Recipe
Popcorn chicken is a dish consisting of small, 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.

Version 2: Popcorn Chicken Recipe (Extra Crunchy Coating)
I modified it to my taste and added so many extra special things in it. The original recipe called for garlic powder, onion powder, some extra seasoning mix. I don’t have those stuffs on hand. So I made it with the available ingredients.
The crucial part in this recipe is frying. In kfc they pressure fry these chicken. I don’t have those fancy things. So what I did was, I covered the pan in which they are frying with a tight fitting lid. This creates steam inside and the chicken is fried which gives more or less the same result.
Try to fry the chicken in medium heat so they don’t get brown before the middle is cooked.
Also this KFC popcorn chicken has cornflakes and breadcrumbs.
