Popcorn Chicken & Soda: The Ultimate Combo, ‘Col-Pop’
Recreate CGV’s Bestseller: ‘Col-Pop’ with Crispy Popcorn Chicken and Two Delicious Sauces
Bring the popular CGV movie theater treat, ‘Col-Pop,’ right to your home! This delightful combination features crispy popcorn chicken served alongside two favorite dipping sauces, all designed to be enjoyed with a refreshing soda. Using a deep fryer, you can achieve perfectly golden and crunchy popcorn chicken in about the same time it takes to make their chicken nachos. What makes this ‘Col-Pop’ unique is the special plastic container designed to hold both the popcorn chicken and its accompanying sauces – sweet chili and mustard. This beloved pairing is especially popular with younger moviegoers, making ‘Col-Pop’ an irresistible menu item. For efficiency, the popcorn chicken can be fried in advance and kept warm in a nacho warmer, ready for quick service.

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Fill a deep fryer with enough cooking oil to fully submerge the popcorn chicken. Heat the oil to 180°C (350°F). Once the oil is hot, carefully add the popcorn chicken.
Step 2
2. Fry the popcorn chicken for approximately 4 minutes, or until it turns a golden brown and becomes delightfully crispy. The goal is a crunchy exterior and a tender inside.
Step 3
3. Once fried, gently remove the popcorn chicken from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain any excess grease. Then, transfer the crispy chicken into the prepared plastic container.
Step 4
4. In the designated sauce compartments of the plastic container, add a generous but not overflowing amount of sweet chili sauce and mustard sauce. You can adjust the quantities to your preference.
Step 5
5. Finally, place the container filled with popcorn chicken and sauces securely on top of your chosen beverage for the ultimate ‘Col-Pop’ experience. Enjoy your movie and snack!
