Method

Crispy popcorn chicken

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken cubes with garlic powder, white pepper, ginger powder, chilli powder, salt, sesame oil, plain flour, water, and potato starch; toss until evenly coated.

  1. Spread the coated chicken on a baking sheet, spray lightly with cooking spray, and bake or air‑fry at 400°F (400°F) until golden and crispy, about 12‑15 minutes, turning halfway through.

Honey garlic glaze

  1. Melt light butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then stir in honey, diced garlic, brown stevia, and white pepper; cook briefly, about 2 minutes, until fragrant.

  1. Brush the hot glaze over the cooked popcorn chicken and serve immediately.

Tips while you cook

Even coating
Toss the chicken with all coating ingredients until the pieces are uniformly covered before baking.
Turn halfway
Flip the chicken pieces halfway through the 12‑15 minute bake.
Apply glaze hot
Brush the glaze over the chicken while it’s still hot for best adhesion.
