Hi laura very nice recepies.
I like your chicken manchurian recepies
This reciepe was so easy and yummy! My Husband loved it, and my 5 year old said it was “delish”! Thanks for sharing
Thank you Laura! We will definitely be trying this recipe!
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.
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!
Looks pretty awesome to me! Thanks!
That just looks so good! My family loves Chinese food and I’m looking to eat home more often! Thanks for the great recipe.
What a great idea to use the popcorn chicken. I will have to try that! Man that cuts down a lot of time. Thanks for the great tip.
This looks wonderful, I love the sheen of that glaze!
