Additional notes.

1. I prefer using the crushed cornflakes for the chicken popcorn recipe, but if you want, you could make it with breadcrumbs as well.

2. Garlic sauce is a lebanese sauce made with egg white, oil and garlic, ofcourse. As fresh and organic garlic sauce is stocked well here, I always buy it from the supermarket. 

3. You can also bake the popcorn chicken in oven instead of frying. Add a tablespoon of oil to the chicken. Heat the oven to 420F/220C  and bake until chicken is cooked and golden brown approximately 15-20 minutes.
