To prepare the popcorn chicken, you can use an oven or an air fryer. For oven preparation, spread the frozen pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until they are hot and crispy. If using an air fryer, place the pieces in the basket and cook until golden brown and heated through. Ensure the chicken is cooked to the recommended internal temperature for safety. Serve immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor.
