Max then began by chopping his chicken into pieces, as he explained: “I've chopped the chicken breast into chunks, whacked it in a bowl with milk, Greek yoghurt and Maxi's all purpose seasoning, but you can use any seasoning you like.

“Give it a mix and leave it to marinate for as long as you like. I just used it straight away.

“Then we need to coat them in seasoned flour, whack them in the air fryer.

“The popcorn chicken is now ready. I coated mine in the sauce and then put it into a homemade wrap with some homemade coleslaw.”

As Max proudly showed off his finished popcorn chicken, he added: “Was absolutely banging. Lovely.” 

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @mealswithmax, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up a whopping 790,000 views.
