  1. This reciepe was so easy and yummy! My Husband loved it, and my 5 year old said it was “delish”! Thanks for sharing

  2. She-Mulk, it is the frozen breaded popcorn chicken that I used. It doesn’t give direction on the bag to deep fry it but that is how I cook it.

  3. I went to buy popcorn chicken but could only find the frozen breaded popcorn chicken. Is that what I should use? I didn’t know if it was ok to have breaded or if that would change the flavor. Thanks for all of your recipes – we’ve loved them!

  4. That just looks so good! My family loves Chinese food and I’m looking to eat home more often! Thanks for the great recipe.
