Method
Directions
Prepare the Chicken Mixture
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, green onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Form the Poppers
Using your hands, take small portions of the chicken mixture and shape them into bite-sized balls or patties.
Coat the Poppers
Roll each chicken popper in panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Fry the Poppers
Carefully add the chicken poppers to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
Drain and Serve
Remove the poppers from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
