Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken is a crispy, bite-sized fried chicken snack made by marinating chicken thigh pieces in soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, and five-spice powder, then coating them in sweet potato starch and deep-frying until golden. It's topped with a sprinkle of salt, white pepper, and fresh fried Thai basil for aroma and crunch. A top-seller in night markets across Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Taichung, this dish is served in paper bags and eaten hot as a street snack or late-night bite.

Common variations include adding chili powder, plum seasoning, or serving with fried garlic chips.
