English &quot;popcorn chicken&quot; is a menu nickname for the bite-size pieces—not a claim of US fast-food inventorship. Soft marketing that every fried chicken nugget is yan su ji is stretch. It is distinct from larger bone-in Taiwanese fried chicken cutlets (鸡排) and from Mainland general fried chicken categories.&lt;ref name=&quot;wp&quot;&gt;[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwanese_fried_chicken English Wikipedia]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Characteristics ==<br /> <br /> Golden irregular nuggets; shell is crunchy and powdery-crisp; seasoning is salty-peppery with fragrant fried basil in many stalls.<br /> <br /> == Ingredients (overview) ==<br /> <br /> Chicken thigh or breast pieces, sweet-potato starch coating, salt, white pepper, five-spice or house spice mix, Thai basil or Taiwan basil; oil for frying.
