Today I am sharing my version of Taiwanese Popcorn chicken. I love ordering this snack whenever I am out having boba with friends. My version is crispy, light, tender and juicy. It really is addicting snacking on these crunchy nuggets. This dish is super easy and quick to make. Enjoy it as a snack or as meal on its own! Crunch away! I hope you give this recipe a try. I guarantee your family and friends will love it.
