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.

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.

Just found ur channel. The fact that u say replacements and where to find similar ingredients, means I definitely won't abandon them. Thanks

This was my favourite Taiwanese street food when I lived there. Now I can make it anywhere. Thanks so much!

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

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!!!

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!

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.

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 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

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!

These arent just recipes, they are educational! I love how you explain things and give extra information; Great teacher!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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 🙏

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 like how you explain every little concern/questions in my head as i watch during the duration from prep to cooking. You are psychic

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!

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

A thumbs up as soon as she said Hi Everyone!

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!

Sound folly was on point. Loved the audio sample of crunching sound when you bit into it :)

I just made this tonight for my family. at first I rated it with my family as a 9/10, and very shortly after changed to a 10/10. The flavors and aromas are so incredible and nothing like what we've made or experienced before. I bought ingredients to make several of your other recipes and i cannot wait! Thanks for the awesome recipe! This will be added to our regular rotation!

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!! 💜

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.

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!

@@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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I was looking for this recipe! Thank you!

My son is asking me to make this , for months ! I wil surprise him today 😄 ! Thank you and peace !

I just tried this, and it was great! Pro tip, you can swap out the salt and pepper for six grandma's sichuan pepper mix. That stuff is absolutely amazing.

Just cooked these , friggin AWESOME !!!

I really like that you explain why you're doing everything. Your video's are great!

This was our first dish we made with our new "souped up" wok (after seasoning it of course) and it was INCREDIBLE. Crunchy, flavorful and the basil was a really tasty element to the dish. Your recipe was so easy to follow and ours looked just like yours (I feel like that never happens with youtube recipes!)

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.

I had a version of this dish that was marinated in green tea. The chicken had a wonderful tea taste that complimented the seasoning so well.

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 💛💛💛

"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.
