Tips on Cooking this recipe
- For best results, marinate the chicken for a longer time.
- To have a much crunchier mouth feel on your chicken poppers, let it rest for a couple of minutes after dredging it from flour mixture. Fry the chicken once the flour coating forms gooey like appearance. However, make sure that the coating from all sides of the chicken popper is still full and didn’t stick on the plate where you let it rest.
