  • Now, add 1 tablespoon of oregano into the chicken mixture and mix well. You can also use different herbs as you like.
  • Heat oil in a pan, either shallow fry or deep fry the chicken popcorn, but I prefer shallow frying so I am using a frying pan for frying these cheesy popcorn.
  • Roll the chicken cubes one by one into the cornflour and wheat flour mixture and leave it for frying in a low-medium heat.
  • Before doing this, make sure you fix the small part of cheese slice into the chicken cubes with the help of a knife and your thumb. Simply cut the middle layer of each chicken cube with the help of the knife and gently insert and cover the cuts with cheese slices in it. This twist of chicken popcorn will definitely make you eat more than your normal appetite.
