# Piquant Chicken Bites This Restaurant Recently Added Seasoned Jumbo Popcorn Chicken to Its Menu By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-12-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jumbo-popcorn-chicken References: [brandeating](http://www.brandeating.com/2015/12/sonic-adds-new-sriracha-seasoned-popcorn-chicken.htm) & [sonicdrivein](https://www.sonicdrivein.com/menu/148-chicken) [Sonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-garlic-pepperoni-bites) recently updated its Jumbo Popcorn Chicken with three delicious new flavors. Although Popcorn Chicken is largely associated with [KFC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-chicken-popcorn), other brands have produced their own versions of the bite-size chicken dish. The latest fried chicken offering from Sonic comes in the form of three seasoned varieties. Sonic's new Seasoned Jumbo Popcorn Chicken is a limited-edition dish that comes in three piquant flavors: Sriracha, Garlic Parmesan and Honey BBQ. The dish consists of pieces of white meat chicken that has been fried and seasoned with the different flavors. Unlike Sonic's [Boneless Wings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chesters-unsauced-chicken-bites), the Seasoned Jumbo Popcorn Chicken is tossed in dry seasoning rather than sauce. For those who are looking for a flavorful fast food dish, the sweet and spicy chicken bites are the perfect option. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flavored Chicken Bites:** Opportunity to create innovative and unique flavored chicken bites that cater to different taste preferences. - **Limited-edition Menu Items:** Opportunity to introduce limited-edition menu items to create excitement and generate buzz among customers. - **Dry Seasoning Alternatives:** Opportunity to explore alternative ways of seasoning chicken, such as dry seasoning, to provide a different taste experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can capitalize on the popularity of chicken bites by offering their own unique versions or limited-time promotions. - **Restaurant Chains:** Restaurant chains can experiment with new flavors and seasonings to attract customers and differentiate themselves in the market. - **Food Manufacturing:** Food manufacturers can develop a range of flavored popcorn chicken options for retail and foodservice establishments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Quality QSR Chicken Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-in-the-box-popcorn-chicken.md) - [Spiced Side Dish Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buffalo-chicken-dip-bites.md) - [Fried Chicken Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-chicken-popcorn.md) - [Taiwanese-Style Chicken Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taiwanese-popcorn-chicken.md) - [Crispy QSR Pizza Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-garlic-pepperoni-bites.md) - [Saucy Popcorn Chicken Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauced-loaded-popcorn-chicken.md) - [Sauce-Coated QSR Nuggets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-7.md) - [Plant-Based Popcorn Chicken Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-popcorn-chicken.md) - [Spicy Pizzeria Poutines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buffalo-popcorn-chicken-poutine.md)
