Chang's Just Added New Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2024-11-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taiwanese-popcorn-chicken References: [brandeating](https://www.brandeating.com/2024/11/pf-changs-adds-new-asian-fried-chicken.html)  [P.F. Chang's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pf-changs-frozen-meals) is drawing inspiration from around the globe to introduce two new fried chicken offerings: Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken and Korean Fried Chicken. Perfect for fried chicken lovers looking for something a little unique, both of the new offerings give fans different ways to enjoy a familiar comfort food. First up, the new Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken consists of bite-sized pieces of lightly-battered, crispy-fried boneless chicken thighs, which have been tossed with five-spice dry-rub seasoning, along with roasted guajillo chili and basil leaves. On the other hand, the new Korean Fried Chicken consists of slightly bigger chicken pieces lightly coated with either a dry-rub five-spice seasoning or sweet and spicy Korean-inspired sauce. This dish is available with bone-in chicken or boneless chicken pieces. Both of the new offerings are available now for a limited time. Image Credit: P.F.
