Doesn&rsquo;t the name alone make you hungry? A street food sensation, Taiwanese style popcorn chicken (aka Taiwanese fried chicken) has become popular worldwide in recent years. I&rsquo;ve always loved eating it, but for the longest time never thought of making it at home. After some research and testing, I couldn&rsquo;t wait to share this recipe I&rsquo;m truly proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chinese name of the dish, Y&aacute;n S&#363; J&#299;\/&#30416;&#37221;&#40481;, literally means &ldquo;salted crispy chicken&rdquo;, which describes the dish even better than &ldquo;popcorn chicken&rdquo;. Bite-sized chicken pieces are marinated and tenderized, then coated in starch and flour. They&rsquo;re deep fried in basil-infused oil, sprinkled with salt and spice, and served alongside crispy basil leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/popcorn-chicken-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"chopsticks picking up a piece of popcorn chicken.\" class=\"wp-image-52883\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So how is popcorn chicken different from other types of fried chicken? A few things set it apart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bite-sized pieces meant to be eaten by hands, perfect for snacking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Classic Chinese seasonings that delivers a distinctive taste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A cornstarch-and-flour coating that creates an ultra-crispy crust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thai basil leaves that add extra fragrance and crunch. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a6a6bd022cd1da9f21af375ad7904e77\" id=\"h-ingredients\" style=\"color:#4d7b7f\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ingredients-for-popcorn-chicken-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"ingredients for making popcorn chicken.\" class=\"wp-image-52879\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the ingredients you need for this recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chicken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any boneless cut of chicken works: breast, thigh, or drum, with or without skin. To be honest, I&rsquo;m not a big fan of breast meat since it can be tricky to keep juicy. The good news is I tested this recipe with it, and the result was more than satisfying. Plus, breast is the easiest cut to slice into evenly sized pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starch &amp; flour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, coarse sweet potato starch (not the regular fine type) is used. But since I had to search several Chinese shops just to find one bag, I know it&rsquo;s not practical for most readers. After testing, I discovered that a cornstarch-and-flour mix works just as well. In fact, the taste testers in our Red House preferred it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This combination works beautifully, creating the signature crust of popcorn chicken. Cornstarch makes the coating light and crisp, while flour helps it stick to the meat and develop an appealing golden color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To boost the crispiness, I add a little baking soda to the batter. If you don&rsquo;t have it on hand, feel free to skip it. The difference is quite subtle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seasonings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&rsquo;t need much to season popcorn chicken: a dash of soy sauce for savory umami flavor, some minced garlic for aroma, and a ground spice of your choice, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/five-spice-powder\/\">Chinese five-spice powder,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/sichuan-peppercorn\/\">ground Sichuan pepper<\/a>, or white pepper. For an extra kick, you can also sprinkle in some ground chili pepper if, like me, you enjoy a bit of heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic popcorn chicken is always accompanied by crispy Thai basil leaves, which I&rsquo;ve included in my recipe. For many, though, they&rsquo;re not easy to find, and leaving them out won&rsquo;t take away from your enjoyment of the dish &ndash; I promise! Italian sweet basil isn&rsquo;t an ideal substitute, as its delicate leaves are trickier to deep fry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-feast-branding-color-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0a9b0123809984ad4774bd6354976fc8\" id=\"h-instructions\">How it&rsquo;s made<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: <strong>Marinate the chicken<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/marinate-chicken.jpg\" alt=\"marinating chicken pieces.\" class=\"wp-image-52880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/marinate-chicken.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/marinate-chicken-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/marinate-chicken-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/marinate-chicken-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/marinate-chicken-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/marinate-chicken-1536x1024.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized chunks, about an inch (2.5 cm) across. Pop them into a mixing bowl, then add cornstarch, flour, light soy sauce, minced garlic, five-spice (or sichuan pepper, white pepper), a little baking soda, and some water. Mix thoroughly so every piece is well coated. Set aside for 15 minutes for everything to settle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: <strong>Coat the chicken<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coated-chicken.jpg\" alt=\"chicken coated with cornstarch and flour.\" class=\"wp-image-52874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coated-chicken.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coated-chicken-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coated-chicken-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coated-chicken-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coated-chicken-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coated-chicken-1536x1024.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the signature crust, prepare the coating by mixing a generous amount of cornstarch and flour. Roll one piece of marinated chicken at a time in the mixture. Once it&rsquo;s evenly covered all round, gently shake off any excess. Place it on a clean plate. Repeat the procedure to coat the remaining chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware that the sticky, semi-runny marinade helps the coating cling to the chicken. So the pieces shouldn&rsquo;t look dry before you place them in the coating mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: <strong>Fry the basil<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fry-basil.jpg\" alt=\"deep frying basil leaves.\" class=\"wp-image-52877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fry-basil.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fry-basil-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fry-basil-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fry-basil-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fry-basil-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/fry-basil-1536x1024.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour oil into a wok or deep saucepan, at least 3 inches\/7.6 cm deep. Add the Thai basil (make sure it&rsquo;s completely dry to avoid splashing), then turn on the heat. As the oil heats up, the leaves will slowly turn crisp. Once they look shiny and brittle, the oil is hot enough to fry the chicken. Remove the basil and move on to the next step right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: <strong>Double fry the chicken<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/frying-chicken.jpg\" alt=\"deep-frying chicken.\" class=\"wp-image-52878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/frying-chicken.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/frying-chicken-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/frying-chicken-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/frying-chicken-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/frying-chicken-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/frying-chicken-1536x1024.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully lower the chicken pieces into the hot oil, one at a time. Fry until they turn pale golden and lightly crisp. Fish them out and let the oil heat up again for half a minute. Then slide the chicken back in for the second fry. Very quickly the crust will turn into a deep golden color shell that stays crunchy even after cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5: Season and serve<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/popcorn-chicken-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"a plate of popcorn chicken with fried basil leaves.\" class=\"wp-image-52881\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. While it&rsquo;s still hot, sprinkle over the salt and spice mix, along with the crispy basil. Serve immediately to enjoy the best crunch, the full aroma, and tender, juicy meat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-inline-heading-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-feast-branding-color-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8e882d416daabe61ea2e260c6f25da50\" id=\"extra-tips\">Extra tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dos:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Let the chicken marinate for longer, for example overnight in the fridge. This helps the flavor penetrate further. Be sure to bring it back to room temperature before moving onto the next step so it&rsquo;s not too cold for frying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coat the marinated chicken generously to ensure the optimal crispiness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use cooking oil that has a high smoking point and suitable for deep frying, such as sunflower, canola, vegetable, peanut, avocado, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong> <\/strong>If you don&rsquo;t have basil, test the oil temperature by dipping the tip of a wooden or bamboo chopstick into the oil. If steady bubbles appear immediately, the oil is ready.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don&rsquo;ts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do not cut the chicken pieces too small as they dry out easily during frying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not cover the wok with a lid. The steaming gathered inside will cause dangerous splattering if hot oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not overcrowd the wok. Cook in batches. This helps keep the oil temperature steady and prevents the batter from absorbing too much oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/popcorn-chicken-4-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"a plate of popcorn chicken with fried basil leaves.\" class=\"wp-image-52884\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-feast-branding-color-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fc7a65575d0f24023039a0b6844a0f5c\" id=\"h-substitutions\">How long they stay crispy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a dish best enjoyed right away. And I can promise it will disappear faster than you expect. Who could resist such deliciousness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any battered and deep-fried food, the crispy coating of popcorn chicken softens over time as moisture from the meat seeps out, dampening the crust. Meanwhile, the chicken itself gradually loses its juices and becomes drier. That&rsquo;s why preparing it far in advance simply doesn&rsquo;t work if you want the best result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my tests, the chicken stayed reasonably crisp and the meat fairly moist for 2-3 hours. Beyond that, though, the quality drops noticeably, so I wouldn&rsquo;t recommend leaving it any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reheat leftovers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer at 350&deg;F (175&deg;C) for a few minutes. This will bring back a bit of crispiness, though not as much as when freshly fried, and the meat inside will be drier. Avoid microwaving, as it makes the coating soft and rubbery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-feast-branding-color-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-01b88b1db9915ff3b4c3c96742b7cfb1\" id=\"h-related\">Other chicken dishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for other delicious ways to enjoy chicken?
