Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken is my all-time favorite street food snack and one of my favorite ways to make fried chicken! I love the unique crispy texture that's tossed with the sweet & savory seasoning mix - it's so addictive! You can find these delicious pieces of chicken all over the night markets in Taiwan, and here's an easy version you can make at home!
