Crsipy nuggets of popcorn chicken are always a fan favourite. Crunchy and golden on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, does it get much better? Maybe with a smokey aioli dip it can!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Delicious and well-received, though some found the seasoning too strong or insufficient for the chicken amount.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, with one reviewer noting it still worked out fine even when forgetting the plain flour.
  • Suggestions: Consider adjusting the seasoning amount to taste; try pairing with a green salad and pan-fried corn for a complete meal.
  • Portions: Several customers mentioned wanting more, as the serving size felt small for such a tasty dish.
