Crispy Popcorn Chicken

I won't say this is the exact recipe from KFC or Mc donald's but something very similar to that.  Your kids are going to love you if you make them this  crispy chicken.  Probably last week sometime I made this recipe, my little one still keeps asking everyday, Ayeesha did u you made the crispy chicken today.  Yeah! my both little princess calls me as Ayeesha :-(  they never call me as amma or maama.  Anyway that's  a different story , let's come back to the recipe, this is not only something special with kids, grownups also love to munch this.  Before taking this picture I finished almost 5 pieces from the bowl.  You can serve these as a snack or as a side to accompany pizza or burger.
