Method
Crispy popcorn chicken
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.
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
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.
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.
