Submitted by Aliza Zauderer   I’ve always been on the lookout for a really good chicken poppers recipe that’s not hard to make and has just the right amount of heat. I developed this recipe and tweaked it until perfection.   Although these poppers may take a bit of effort, the payoff is well worth it!

Yes, you can pre-freeze the fried chicken and reheat it in the oven to crisp it up. I would not freeze it with the sauce on it and add the sauce once the chicken is reheated.
