  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Fry the chicken poppers until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Notes

Chill the mixture if poppers are falling apart. Experiment with different cheeses for added flavor. Medium heat is crucial for even cooking. Can bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes as a healthier option.
