  9. Arrange the components in the sequence of - chicken, egg, maida, bread crumbs.

  10. To coat the chicken popcorns, first start by dipping the marinated piece of chicken in egg, then roll in maida, dip it in egg once again, and finally roll it in the bread crumbs.

  11. Drop the chicken popcorns in each of the cavities and allow to cook and become crispy. After 3-4 minutes, flip the chicken on to the other side. Allow to cook. Drain on a kitchen towel so that it absorbs the excess oil. Serve hot.
