The more coating you do, the more crispy and popcorn-like looking the result becomes. Also, the oil shouldn’t be too hot when you fry your chicken popcorn. Medium heat will help prevent toasting or burning your chicken while leaving it partially cooked inside.

Generally, frying time may take up to 5 minutes or more depending on how thick the cut it.
