Yan su ji

Taiwanese fried chicken , westernized as popcorn chicken, is a dish in Taiwanese cuisine commonly found as a street snack. It is popular at the night markets in Taiwan. It consists of bite-sized pieces of chicken, coated and fried with flour and seasoning mixture. Salt and pepper is the staple condiment, while chili powder, lightly fried basil leaves, and garlic bits are added depending on preference. Since the creation of this dish, it has become a popular fast food or restaurant appetizer in other countries in Asia, as well as among Asian immigrant populations overseas. It has also become increasingly popular in the United States alongside a broader increase in popularity of Taiwanese cuisine in that country. Taiwanese fried chicken is famous for its taste and texture, breaking through the confinement of the other snacks, and having a high status in the street food space. It then rapidly became prevalent in the street and night markets.
