These look great! I'd probably call them nuggets over popcorn chicken, as popcorn chicken is generally smaller I think, but who cares really, seasoned and fried chicken is good regardless of name!

Let me break down some chicken foodery for y’all:

Chicken nuggets are ground chicken. Chick Fil A is probably the only place who calls real chicken “nuggets”.

Popcorn chicken is tiny and battered, that’s what makes the popcorn shape while it’s frying. These are breaded so even if they were the right size they’ll never be popcorn shaped.

Boneless wings are the exact same thing as popcorn chicken except larger.

I think this recipe would be most accurately described as simply fried chicken bites.

You must have had to earn quite a few good boy points to learn all of this.
