POPCORN CHICKEN

Isn’t the name “popcorn chicken” intriguing enough? What is the origin of the name? Popcorn chicken got its name from its resemblance to popped corn kernels. Without a doubt, popcorn chicken is a chicken dish made up of little bite-sized chunks. Before being cooked, breading chicken parts is a must. In fact, popcorn chicken is real chicken breast meat nuggets. These, however, are much smaller than nuggets.

As mentioned above, it looks like popcorn pieces that you can ‘pop’ in your mouth. You can eat a few of the chicken pieces at a time because they are small in size.
