Papa Chang's has one of the best popcorn chicken I've ever had and after I knew that they had opened a second location on the top floor of Pacific Mall as an express eatery, I had always kept it in the back of my mind to go visit.
When I arrived at the express eatery, they were just opening for business. It was just before 11 a.m. on a holiday. Luckily for me, the man behind the counter agreed to sell me a serving of their popcorn chicken even though their cashier staff hadn't arrived yet. (I had waited a few minutes already.)
The popcorn chicken was deep fried and lightly battered with salt and pepper. Mmm, this was the best! I really appreciated the decent-sized portion too. For $6.20 after tax, this was a very reasonable serving of fried chicken bites. Since it was so hot and fresh from the fryer, it was so enjoyable to eat. The pieces of chicken were substantial too and there were a good number of large and small pieces.
