Description :

Popcorn chicken isn't a smaller nugget. It's a different thing entirely — small enough to eat by the handful, which changes how it's cooked and how it's served. More coating per bite means more crunch. A bowl in the middle of the table means nobody bothers with a plate. Size and price Size: 200gm Price: BDT 230 Type: Frozen breaded bite-sized chicken Brand: Paragon, made by Paragon Agro Ltd. SKU: 6390 It cooks faster than you think This is the thing worth knowing before you start, and it's where most people get it wrong. Popcorn chicken pieces are a fraction of the size of a nugget, so they cook through much faster. Give them nugget timings and you get dry, hard little rocks — the outside is fine, but there's so little meat in each piece that a couple of extra minutes ruins them. Air fryer: around 180°C for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket twice rather than once. Small pieces settle into gaps and the ones underneath won't colour otherwise. Oven: around 200°C for 10 to 12 minutes on a tray, shaking halfway. Deep fry: 170–180°C for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. They float and colour quickly, so watch them rather than timing them. Cook from frozen in every case and check one from the middle of the batch before serving the lot. What to do with them Straight from the bowl with a dip is the default, and most of a 200gm pack tends to go that way. But the small size makes them useful in ways a nugget isn't. Scatter them over a rice bowl. Toss them through a salad while still warm. Pile them onto chips with sauce and cheese for loaded fries. Stuff them into a wrap or a paratha roll, where small pieces distribute evenly and a nugget would sit awkwardly. And they take a sauce toss well — while hot, turn them through something sticky like honey and chilli, a garlic-butter mix, or a peri-peri sauce. Do it in a bowl straight out of the fryer and serve immediately, before the coating softens. How far a 200gm pack goes It's a snack pack rather than a meal. Enough for two people sharing in front of the television, or a starter for three or four alongside something else. If popcorn chicken is feeding the table on its own, buy two. Storage Keep frozen at -18°C or below — Paragon's standard instruction across their frozen range. Take out what you're cooking and reseal the bag straight away; small pieces pick up freezer ice faster than larger ones because there's more surface area exposed. Don't refreeze anything that has fully thawed. Check the date on the pack when it arrives. Made to standard Paragon Agro Ltd. produce under ISO 22000, HACCP and GMP certification, and their products are 100% halal.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 200gm pack at BDT 230. That's a snack portion — enough for two people sharing, or a starter for three or four alongside other food.

Size, mainly, and it changes everything downstream. Popcorn pieces are bite-sized, so there's more coating relative to chicken in each piece — which means more crunch. They're eaten by the handful from a shared bowl rather than plated with a dip, and they cook considerably faster. If you want something to serve with rice as a main course, nuggets suit better; for snacking and sharing, popcorn.

Less than nuggets, and that catches people out. Air fryer: around 180°C for 6 to 8 minutes. Oven: around 200°C for 10 to 12 minutes. Deep fry: 2 to 3 minutes. Cook from frozen, and check one from the middle of the batch rather than going purely by the clock.

Almost certainly overcooked. Each piece holds very little chicken, so there's no margin — two extra minutes that a nugget would shrug off will dry popcorn chicken right out. Pull them when the coating is golden rather than deep brown, and remember they carry on cooking for a moment after they come out.

Yes, and more often than with nuggets — twice through the cook rather than once. Small pieces settle into gaps and pack together, so the ones underneath stay pale unless you move them around.

No. Cook from frozen every time. Thawed pieces go soft and the coating separates, and with pieces this small they'll overcook almost instantly.

They're good for it, better than nuggets because the small pieces coat evenly. Do it hot, in a bowl, straight from the fryer — honey and chilli, garlic butter, or a peri-peri sauce all work. Serve immediately; sauce softens the coating within a few minutes, which is fine if that's what you want but not if you're after crunch.

This listing doesn't publish an ingredients list. Paragon's chicken nuggets contain soya protein, so a similar declaration is likely here — but check the printed pack before serving to anyone with a soya allergy, or ask Metromart support on WhatsApp (01805552413). Don't assume based on the nuggets.

Follow the instructions printed on the pack. Either way, cook until piping hot right through — with pieces this small that happens quickly, but a crowded basket still cooks unevenly.

They're a popular snack for exactly that, and the small size suits children's hands. Two things to watch: bite-sized pieces are a choking risk for very young children, so cut them or supervise closely, and check the allergen declaration on the pack.

Yes. Paragon Agro Ltd. produce under ISO 22000, HACCP and GMP certification with 100% halal certification, and the marks are printed on the packaging.

No. Take out what you need and reseal the bag immediately — small pieces pick up freezer ice faster than larger ones, because there's more exposed surface area per gram.

Frozen at -18°C or below, sealed tightly. Temperature swings do more damage than time — a freezer opened constantly, or a bag left out on the counter while the air fryer heats.
