When you’re craving something crispy, delicious, and finger-friendly, popcorn chicken is a guaranteed hit. Small but flavor-packed chicken bites that combine a crunchy coating with a satisfying chili kick. The perfect snack for a get-together, movie night, or anytime you want that street food vibe at home.
- Cut the chicken into evenly sized cubes so they cook evenly. Place in a bowl with soy sauce, black pepper, and egg. Mix well to coat each piece. Let marinate at room temperature for a moment.
- Pour the cornstarch onto a plate. Roll each chicken piece in the starch until fully coated. This makes them extra crispy when cooked. For more heat and crunch, you can crush Poppamies Cheesy Jalapeno Chips into the starch.
- Cook in an air fryer at 200°C for about 12–14 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through. Cooking time may vary depending on the device—aim for a crispy, golden-brown finish.
- In a separate pan, heat the Poppamies Buffalo Medium Wing Sauce and add the cooked chicken pieces. Toss quickly and fry for about a minute, just until the sauce sticks to the surface. Don’t overcook—keep the crust crisp while absorbing the sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately, for example with a fresh salad, Poppamies Blue Cheese Style dip, fries, or rice.
