Recommendations

For a lighter option: To reduce calories, you can request grilled chicken instead of fried popcorn chicken. Pairing the chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or fresh fruit instead of fries will help keep the meal balanced and lighter.
For more flavor: If your child likes more flavor, you can ask for a combination of dipping sauces such as BBQ and honey mustard for variety and extra taste.
For a gluten-free option: The breading contains gluten, so it’s not suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. You can ask the staff if they offer gluten-free popcorn chicken or choose from the grilled options like grilled shrimp or grilled chicken.
For picky eaters: If your child prefers a simpler version, you can request the chicken to be served plain, without breading or sauces, for a more basic, plain flavor.
For a more indulgent meal: If your child enjoys richer meals, you can pair the popcorn chicken with a side of fries and creamy dipping sauces such as ranch or honey mustard for a more indulgent option.
