Popcorn Chicken is a KFC product consisting of small, "bite-sized" pieces of chicken that have been breaded and fried.[1]
Popcorn Chicken was invented by food technologist Gene Gagliardi.[2] It was test-marketed in the United States from March 1992, and had been launched nationwide by September 1992.[2] It has been periodically available in KFC outlets. It was re-introduced in the US in 1998, and again in 2001.[3] It was later re-introduced once again in 2015, under the name "KFC Popcorn Nuggets".
It is still available in the UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand.[4][5][6][7]
The product is targeted at teenagers and young adults.[1]
In 2003, a UK study found that KFC Popcorn Chicken contained only 66 percent meat.[8]
However this meant it was proven to have no calories!!!!!
