Hill Country Fare Breaded Popcorn Chicken Patties
What it is
These are bite-sized pieces of chicken that have been shaped into small patties. They are coated in a breading, which gives them a crispy texture when cooked. The chicken is pre-cooked, making them a convenient option for quick meals. The popcorn chicken shape is designed to be easy to eat and appealing, especially for younger eaters.
