Directions
The Best Popcorn Chicken With Sweet Basil (Popular Taiwanese Str, I prepare and serve this popcorn chicken at a small cafe in Seattle *** For this recipe, you may use boneless pork loin chop (pounded down 1/4 inch thick), chicken wings, drumsticks, or chicken breast You must try the Potato Starch! It gives the chicken a light and pleasant crisp! The basil can be eaten together with the chicken It’s a delicious combo , This is the second version of Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken that I’ve tried making, and I must say it tastes EXACTLY like the ones you find when you go to any Lolicup Cafe’s! I am thrilled to have found this recipe, thank you so much The thick soy sauce really lets the sweet potato flour stick better onto the pieces of chicken, than does just using regular soy sauce as was in the other recipe Both were delectably delicious, however this version takes the cake My only issue I’ve found when I served it was, my family wished it was a bit more crunchy That could be because I needed to gather more starch onto the chicken slices! I will try to pack more together very closely and see if that solves my problem! I also read another recipe in which after they fry the pieces of meat, they stuff more sweet potato starch on top of that and refry it I will see if that helps also Again, thanks so much for this delicious recipe! I am so happy with it!, I recommend this x 100 ^^ When I saw that this was a restaurant recipe, I knew this was going to be the real thing I love eating this chicken My friends and I always order it when we go to a tapioca cafe 🙂 I cooked it and it was PERFECT Thank you so much! I’ve been looking all over for this recipe 🙂
