Southern Fried Popcorn Chicken

What is it?

Bite-sized and Southern-fried, the popcorn chicken pieces come in a 14-ounce frozen meal alongside mashed potatoes and corn. The chicken is breaded and seasoned in the Southern-fried style, so you get lots of crisp surface in each small piece. Mashed potatoes and sweet corn fill out the rest of the tray, with the usual microwave-ready setup for a single serving. Compared with other dinners built around larger chicken pieces or patties, this one leans into the popcorn format. That means more breading to chicken per bite, and a looser mix of textures across the tray.
