Chicken Popcorns are yummy, crispy deep-fried balls of chicken. This finger food was invented in America and gained popularity when the fast-food chain KFC introduced it in its menu.
Chicken Popcorns are small, bite-sized pieces of chicken that are breaded or battered and deep-fried. Because the tiny pieces of chicken resemble popcorn after they are fried, they were named Chicken Popcorns.
Juicy, succulent, spicy Chicken Popcorns make for a perfect finger food.
