I love good popcorn chicken bites. These are easy to make, and have an extra "kick" to them. There are great for an evening snack while enjoying your favorite movie. Or, just about any time you crave a spicy bite of chicken. Oh, and I always try to include some celery sticks... Just to make the dish healthy. So, you...
