In fact, I have cooked chicken popcorn for my daughter at home before, using only chicken breast, and the outer layer is wrapped in breadcrumbs and fried. The evaluation of my snacks is not as delicious as KFC! To be honest, there is indeed a gap. One is that the chicken popcorn made of chicken breast is more woody, and the other is that the fried crust wrapped in breadcrumbs is crunchy, not crispy! Then I decided to use chicken thigh meat this time, without breadcrumbs on the outer layer! When the finished product came out, my snack shop exclaimed: "It's so delicious, 99% similar to KFC! Never go to KFC to buy chicken rice crackers again!"

Tips:

I like to make chicken rice crackers with chicken thighs, although the preliminary preparations are a bit more complicated than using chicken breasts! As for the deboning of chicken legs, do it according to your habit as you like! All roads lead to Rome, and the end result is the same!
