One of my fondest memories was when I was doing a month long solo backpacking/camping trip on the east coast of Taiwan. It was extremely rainy, and I ran into a street vendor who was selling this style of chicken. It was so good, that I walked back in the rain to get more. I miss Taiwan. I hope you all stay safe out there.
Taiwan #1, please visit again! :)
Oh no, I realized I have all the ingredients, naturally one must cook it now.
great!! give me some too
......can i have a bite?
🤤I know it’s gunna be BOMB asf
how did it turn out?
i volunteer as tribute
Just found ur channel. The fact that u say replacements and where to find similar ingredients, means I definitely won't abandon them. Thanks
I don't know why RUclips recommended this video instead of my usual high-tech stuff, but here I am 11 minutes later as a new subscriber. Great content, can't wait to try this!
exactly the same here... and it's freaking 2am and I feel so hungry
i think my viewing of Hot Ones brought me here... and just like that; I'm a sub
Lol, same here.
Same

Girl. My sister and I just made this and are currently eating it 😍 omg. It is so good. The best popcorn chicken I’ve ever had! The flavor is so wonderful and unique. I’m gonna make this over and over again. The only thing we did differently was that we added fried garlic on top along with the salt and pepper mix with chili flakes 😍 it was amazing on its own and dipped in hoisin sauce. Thanks so much for the recipe!!!
You try tossing it in honey mustard sauce or buffalo wing sauce. Beer match!!
I'm a white guy that never learned to cook growing up that started teaching myself how to cook Asian food off RUclips and Google a few years ago. Thanks internet, I can now feed myself.
I'm an Asian woman, and same
I'm an elephant and I feel the same. Loved your recipe. Keep up the good work!
RUclips is so convenience. During my mom's time she need to pay money for cooking classes, now we just need to find the recipe and the how to cook it on RUclips.
I'm an AH-64 and I'm really appreciating these videos. I like having more recipes available though I can already cook
@@moritamikamikara3879 Ah, I see a man of culture just happens to be an Apache Attack Helicopter. Very proper of you.
Thankyou for printable recipes! A lot of help when you have a simple bit of paper to follow in the kitchen. And great job with all the alternatives suggestions.
I have made this dish so many times and everyone in my house loves it! thank you so much I love your channel and recipes they are amazing - I also never knew about thick potato starch before this, makes so much better coating. DO NOT STOP MAKING VIDEOS!
1st time watching your channel a couple of minutes into the video and I notice how beautifully u'r instructions are no hurry but accurate speed so as the ppl watching understand it and I must say u have a very good voice. Subscribed dear
This was my favourite Taiwanese street food when I lived there. Now I can make it anywhere. Thanks so much!
These arent just recipes, they are educational! I love how you explain things and give extra information; Great teacher!
you must be one of the best instructors i've seen online, as you are concise, descriptive, and have a soothing and well-tempered manner of elucidating - do NOT change your awesome formula!
I love that i found your channel. i can't wait to get started on your recipes! thank you and keep up the good work!
Your recepies are truly comprehensive. Substitutions, reccomendations, helpful tips, cultural insights, prep and serving suggestions; you don't miss a thing! It makes me feel really confident when I try cooking your recepies myself. I've made quite a few, including these devastatingly addictive popcorn chicka-dees. You're a dear lady! Thank you so much.
I made it a point to shop for these ingredients today! My young son and I cooked this for our dinner and it was wonderful. Easy to follow and understand video, which we followed as we cooked. You're a natural teacher, and we'll be making your recipes again! Thank you!
Omg it was so nice of you to give tips on replacing ingredients, where i live it's pretty tough to find most of these ingredients, so i end up not making these recipes even though i love oriental cuisine. Thanks!!!
Youre one of ytube most reliable cook for Chinese food👍 very clear explanations & delicious recipes😍 i definitely will try ur recipes for cooking😃 thank u very much 🙏
Wow, thank you so much. I've been craving for this item and have been looking all over the place for this recipe. I will make this tonight, thanks!
I like how you explain every little concern/questions in my head as i watch during the duration from prep to cooking. You are psychic
Good job for being thorough on how to cook your dish. I'm impressed how detailed you were.
What wonderful Monday surprise! Thank you Mandy! Will definitely try this recipe!! 💜
I love your food. my wife and I made about 4 dishes so far. and we bought most of the items you use. thanks for the good food you share
Sound folly was on point. Loved the audio sample of crunching sound when you bit into it :)
Just made this recipe last week and it turned out fantastic. I had to up it 4x for our family but it still turned out great. it was perfect for my Fiance who has a gluten intolerance and some of the best fried chicken I've made. Thank you!
i love when you make recipes that you particularly love and can't stop eating. that is all of the proof anyone needs that your food and recipes are delicious.
I love the useful information you provide. You explain some things that are probably "common sense" to people that cook all the time, but very educational to people who don't cook much. Thank you. For that reason, new subscriber.
Wonderful, you obviously know what you're doing, with all these great details ! Thanks so much
this is my first video for you and i'm instantly subscribing. Your instructions are very clear and i enjoy how you are providing alternatives to ingredients!
I was looking for this recipe! Thank you!
Fantastic!! The family will have a great treat tonight!! Off to the store for ingredients!!!
I really like that you explain why you're doing everything. Your video's are great!
I can totally see you creating books for all the different styles of Chinese cooking. From noodles and dumplings, to every way to cook meats and seafood, bones and all! I have always loved Asian cuisine and the idea of waste not want not, using everything to create such unique and flavorful dishes! I absolutely love your show and cannot wait to see and try more and more of these delicious recipes! ♥️
I love your approach on explaining all the steps from the spice blend to the basil, moreover you suggest replacements meaning everyone can cook the meal even tho they dont have all the exact same ingredients! I will definitely try the recipe! Thanks you so much for sharing it
I made this and it was so yummy! Thank you for the recipe and breaking it down so easily!
Shes very good.in speaking in english, i can understand each english word she says. Youre amazing! Proud.of you!
This is my first time watching this video/channel and I am INLOVE everything you do!
I got your wok about a week ago, cleaned it and put it in the oven as instructed. I have been enjoying it so much. Thank you.
I’m on the fence! How’s the wok holding up?
Yes please tell us how this wok held up
I just made this and it was AMAZING!! My roommates and I couldn't stop eating them. I didn't make the jiao yan or use basil and just seasoned it with salt and pepper and it was soooo good!
I never cease to be amazed by the great instructions and great recipes. Can't wait to try this...
Luv ya, u are so super and very details with everything, mostly giving us where to find/get certain stuff... thank you
I smell that popcorn chicken through my screen. It must be tasty and aromatic!
Talk about it!
@@FoodPornTube FraGranT
Here I was thinking a rich man farted
Tour techniques have made me such a hit for parties with my friends!!!!
Your advice is always on point. I need some of this chicken now!
I need this all in my life now! Thanks for the video! I like your style and narration, because it all looks and sounds easy. Thanks!
You have such an encouraging way of showing and teaching. Your voice is also very soothing.
Now I really feel like cooking this haha
my favourite Taiwanese restaurant has this and it’s delicious!!! thank you very much for the recipe, will be making this asap!
Your videos are so relaxing and I love hearing your voice explain some amazingly detailed instruction on popcorn chicken! Surely will try this. 👍
This is the first of your videos ive seen and im really impressed by not just showing the steps but explaining the reasons for each part and explaining what substitutes people can use and why. I think a lot of other channels can benefit from copying your style. Keep up the great work!

Beautiful wok! Going to the link now!
I bought one of the first, I love it. Great product, and thanks for these wonderful videos.
Carbon steel, hm! I really like my cast iron skillet, in what ways is Carbon Steel similar -- and different -- to cast iron?
Is what you refer to as “cooking wine” called Shao Xing Huadew? I hope so, because I have some in my cupboard! Thank you in advance for your reply. I am new to your channel.
@@j2ehyp Carbon steel is composed of roughly 99 percent iron to 1 percent carbon, while cast iron normally contains 2 to 3 percent carbon to 97 to 98 percent iron. Essentially, less carbon makes the metal more durable, and you can get away with making a much lighter pan. The main difference between a cast iron pan and a carbon steel one is therefore weight, but on average they tend to perform quite similarly.
Just cooked these , friggin AWESOME !!!
Thanks so much for all the important tips! I appreciate hearing both the _how_ and _why_ of your dishes.
This is so much fun and you are a great communicator - very clear, easy to follow, and great instructions - very well done, I am looking forward to making your recipes - keep up the good work!
I just made it, it’s absolutely delicious! I bought a bag of Bob’s red mill potato starch at the grocery store, and it worked very well! It came out very crispy on the outside, but moist and tender on the inside. My mom said it was too salty for her, and I think I have to agree. The soy sauce already has a lot of salt in it, so you can probably remove the salt from the marinade. Also, even though I dried my basil beforehand, the oil still jumped like crazy when I put it to fry! So you have to be VERY CAREFUL when you fry the basil. I think this is my favorite chicken ever!
Just add salt to taste, everyone has a different palate.
your way of talking and explaining things is calming
I love your Channel❣ Your replacement suggestions are the best,; I'm going to make this😎👍🏽
Definitely subscribed! Explained very well and even throws in some different options for people who don't have or are allergic!
She even gave us a gluten free option. 👍 She on point
This looks sooooooo good! I will service this to my boyfriend and his guests for the upcoming superbowl event
You're so awesome! I've tried so many of your recipes, and my husband and I just love them!
Fabulous delivery and explanation of recipe. I love the fact you explain the temperature levels as well.
I love your food channel so much. Not only are you adorable, but you also provide such clear instructions in your recipes.
And she provides many tricks and techniques/substitutions I have not learned anywhere else across years of food and recipe channels I've subscribed / saved for years.
@@cychan7113 I just came across Mandy's channel last week. She's amazing!
@Justin Case *Margaret Cho*
Weird taste bro
Adorable... lol I don’t think a lot of grown women like being called that
Why am I watching these videos at 4am... now I'm hungry. Definitely will try this out later today!
Si happy to learn with you... amazing and so clear recipes! Thanks 😉👌🏼👨🍳
Thank you so much! I made this along with Lu Rou Fan for me and my Fiancee. It was so worth it! Thank you so much for both of these recipes. You explain everything step by step and the recipes you shared on your website helped tremendously.
I made sure to make a big pot of Lu Rou Fan to last me for 3 days because it was sooo delicious. The popcorn chicken was extremely tender. Thank you for also sharing the Jiao Yan Recipe, it really does bring out that chicken to another level.
Again, thank you and I hope everyone tries to pair the two dishes together.
Taiwanese popcorn chicken has been a favourite of mine ever since I was young
Showed up in my recommendation. Not disappointed, diction was on point, no uneccesary obnoxious music and easy steps and ingredient friendly.
Wow, your videos are super well thought out and those dishes look simply irresistible to cook along :D You will especially have my eternal gratitude for pointing out easy-to-find alternatives to some of the original ingredients without making me feel bad about not being 100% faithful to the original!
You explained everything so well! I can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks
This is the first time I'm seeing salt being toast
Some salts decompose readily upon heating such as bicarbonates salts. While some salts are stable when heated such as sodium chloride. However, if the cation in a salt has a high polarising power towards especially carbonates, hydroxide and nitrates ions, the salt will decompose to form a more stable salt.
@@FauzanMuhammadNuhaFM ah yes the old stable salt. much better than table salt.
@@charliek9394 lul
Graviton AS lmao
In Asia the humidity will make salt moist and clumpy
omg i use to eat this all the time when i was like 7 it was soooo good i havent ate any for like years 😭 but im gonna try this recipe
Thank you so much for the recipes, my family love it!
This was such a great first impression! Thank you for posting this video. I'm inspired and impressed. I liked and subscribed.
I love your accent and tone of voice 👌🏾food looks amazing
Was up at 1 fixing chicken dinner too! 👍💖💕😘🤗😊Bet yours is better 😉 love to you from Arkansas 👍 ❤️😊 Thanks for all your hard work!
Thank you so much for the recipe Mandy,, I've been looking for this recipe for a long time,, I'm definitely going to try it,, ❤️ 😘
Yaasss!!! I love that you shared your secret ingredient. The orange was genius. I was thinking lime but orange was ssoo much better. Thank you. This is now a new classic for my home.
You're videos are wonderfully coherent and thorough, and you provide rich side notes on the fly without any distraction. Thank you so much for your efforts to produce extremely well produced recipes.
"I have some [chicken breast] in the fridge, so that's what we're using today." That's how some of my best (and worst) recipes start!! :) I like your style.
Wow. Wow. Wow!
Made this tonight (used corn starch with spray water technique) and it was FANTASTIC! Couldn't stop eating it!!!
Absolutely phenomenal! Love this recipe. Thank you, Mandy. 😍
The Jiao Yan is so good. I made a batch of it and have been putting it on random things. Tonight, I just used the wok that she sells and made a vegetable stir fry with the Jiao Yan. Perfect.
This is great. I feel like I can make this. Thank you :-D
Same here!
You're the food hero I need in my life right now! Another great recipe. Thank you!
Tried this last night and it was so, so good. I mixed this with your sesame chicken recipe (mixing half of it with the sauce and some veggies and the other half stand alone to enjoy as is) and it still had the crunch! Thanks for making a seemingly complex dish really simple
Watching this while eating a Sesame Chicken made from your previous recipe :D
I just love this, you make the most delicious foods.
I’m ALWAYS craving this! Thanks for sharing your version of Taiwanese fried chicken! It looks so delicious and crispy! :D
Definitely going to try this! Love your channel!
I made this today for the first time and I could not believe how super crunchy it was. You’re so right about the lumpy starch, made a real difference! Couple things I replaced since I didn’t have what the recipe called for at the time:
- replace AP flour with rice flour
- replace sweet potato starch with tapioca flour
- replace fresh orange juice with 1tsp of white vinegar
And I just used 1 chicken breast but it yielded so much, about 3-4 servings.
Thank you so much for this recipe. It really reminds me of the Taiwanese chicken popcorn I had so often in Orange County boba shops 💛💛💛
How the hell did I get here? She’s so descriptive and the chicken looks amazing. Got me reevaluating my life and considering I’d there is a place for Asian cuisine in it.
You're gonna gain weight dude coz a lot of Asian recipes are so damn goooooood. I know I did.
@@theself-fullproject8801 Not mention they combine fats and sugars a lot, then a bucket of MSG.
@@Kube_Dog not all use MSG, and even then it's not scientifically proven to be bad. You can actually find naturally occuring glutamates in stuff like tomatoes, parmigiano reggiano and other foods. You've just been brainwashed into thinking they're bad because of the mythical but never scientifically proven Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. But keep peddling that lie bro. There was absolutely no MSG used in this recipe but sure keep saying "tons of MSG in Asian recipes" 🙄
This is amazing! Just made it and it is not only delicious, but it tastes just like the chicken I ate in Taipei during my stay there! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Thanks for all those recipes. They seem easier and tasty with your explainings.
Bless your soul. Your commentary is very great and detailed ! Also I just recently ate this the other day. So it came up in my feed and I was like yes!!! I was wondering what the leaf was....I was trying to figure out what they used... thai basil huh? Awesome. Love it. ... I was wondering if u would suggest using panko crumbs or cornstarch ?
THANK YOU... My kids LOVE it. Wow, taste just like the restaurant, my kids said. Thank you ... New subscriber ❤
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I will definitely try it. I love how you show the step by step tutorials and the instructions are 👌💯 easy to follow.
Thanks for being Thorough. i like details.
Great recipe!! I've tried it and it turned out great! I've switched the thai basil to curry leaves and it is equally delicious. I'm going to use your chicken marinade as a base from now on for other dishes because it is perfect :D
Hello, watching and enjoying from Israel 🇮🇱
Israel has more Chinese tourists than from any other nation and now I'll be able to cook for them if need be!
