BETTER THAN TAKEOUT - Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken Recipe

One of my fondest memories was when I was doing a month long solo backpacking/camping trip on the east coast of Taiwan. It was extremely rainy, and I ran into a street vendor who was selling this style of chicken. It was so good, that I walked back in the rain to get more. I miss Taiwan. I hope you all stay safe out there.

Oh no, I realized I have all the ingredients, naturally one must cook it now.

I don't know why Youtube recommended this video instead of my usual high-tech stuff, but here I am 11 minutes later as a new subscriber. Great content, can't wait to try this!

Just found ur channel. The fact that u say replacements and where to find similar ingredients, means I definitely won't abandon them. Thanks

These arent just recipes, they are educational! I love how you explain things and give extra information; Great teacher!

you must be one of the best instructors i've seen online, as you are concise, descriptive, and have a soothing and well-tempered manner of elucidating - do NOT change your awesome formula!

I have made this dish so many times and everyone in my house loves it! thank you so much I love your channel and recipes they are amazing - I also never knew about thick potato starch before this, makes so much better coating. DO NOT STOP MAKING VIDEOS!

1st time watching your channel a couple of minutes into the video and I notice how beautifully u'r instructions are no hurry but accurate speed so as the ppl watching understand it and I must say u have a very good voice. Subscribed dear

Girl. My sister and I just made this and are currently eating it 😍 omg. It is so good. The best popcorn chicken I’ve ever had! The flavor is so wonderful and unique. I’m gonna make this over and over again. The only thing we did differently was that we added fried garlic on top along with the salt and pepper mix with chili flakes 😍 it was amazing on its own and dipped in hoisin sauce. Thanks so much for the recipe!!!

Thankyou for printable recipes! A lot of help when you have a simple bit of paper to follow in the kitchen. And great job with all the alternatives suggestions.

This was my favourite Taiwanese street food when I lived there. Now I can make it anywhere. Thanks so much!

I'm a white guy that never learned to cook growing up that started teaching myself how to cook Asian food off Youtube and Google a few years ago. Thanks internet, I can now feed myself.

Omg it was so nice of you to give tips on replacing ingredients, where i live it's pretty tough to find most of these ingredients, so i end up not making these recipes even though i love oriental cuisine. Thanks!!!

Your recepies are truly comprehensive. Substitutions, reccomendations, helpful tips, cultural insights, prep and serving suggestions; you don't miss a thing! It makes me feel really confident when I try cooking your recepies myself. I've made quite a few, including these devastatingly addictive popcorn chicka-dees. You're a dear lady! Thank you so much.

I made it a point to shop for these ingredients today! My young son and I cooked this for our dinner and it was wonderful. Easy to follow and understand video, which we followed as we cooked. You're a natural teacher, and we'll be making your recipes again! Thank you!

I just made it, it’s absolutely delicious! I bought a bag of Bob’s red mill potato starch at the grocery store, and it worked very well! It came out very crispy on the outside, but moist and tender on the inside. My mom said it was too salty for her, and I think I have to agree. The soy sauce already has a lot of salt in it, so you can probably remove the salt from the marinade. Also, even though I dried my basil beforehand, the oil still jumped like crazy when I put it to fry! So you have to be VERY CAREFUL when you fry the basil. I think this is my favorite chicken ever! Just add salt to taste, everyone has a different palate.

You have such an encouraging way of showing and teaching. Your voice is also very soothing. Now I really feel like cooking this haha

i love when you make recipes that you particularly love and can't stop eating. that is all of the proof anyone needs that your food and recipes are delicious.

I love that i found your channel. i can't wait to get started on your recipes! thank you and keep up the good work!

Just made this recipe last week and it turned out fantastic. I had to up it 4x for our family but it still turned out great. it was perfect for my Fiance who has a gluten intolerance and some of the best fried chicken I've made. Thank you!
