Popcorn chicken is a dish consisting of small, bite-sized pieces of chicken (about the size of popped corn kernels) that have been breaded and fried. The idea was originally developed by KFC in the 1991, but shared some similarity with fried chicken street food in Taiwan. The dish has since been adopted by many restaurants with fried chicken items.
