I have prepared this crispy Chicken Popcorn this weekend.the taste was 100% like original KFC chicken popcorn.i prepared it many times but this time i have used Panko bread crumbs for the KFC texture.but you can also use normal breadcrumbs.there would be no change in the taste.Soaking time is very important for this recipe.you need to soak the chicken for at least 2-3 hours or it’s better if soaked overnight.serve them hot with any cheese dip or mayonnaise and tomato ketchup.
