Proper KFC Popcorn Chicken Popcorn (Tesco) By @Cinabar

First there was popcorn chicken, but now we have chicken popcorn. I’m not sure how I feel about it, to be honest. I don’t mind salty popcorn as a savoury alternative, but my preference is for the sweeter versions. Toffee popcorn is the very best. This bag is made by the company Proper, and it is in conjunction with Kentucky Fried Chicken, so this is not just any chicken popcorn. Even the name is a little hard going; Proper KFC Popcorn Chicken Popcorn. 

Normally I have popcorn while watching a movie at home, but this felt like it was more the kind of snack that should be shared with a sandwich. I can’t tell; I’ve never had chicken-flavoured popcorn before.

So we poured some out for sharing and gave it a taste test. The first bite I had was a piece with a lot of seasoning, and I really liked the flavour. I could pick up on the chicken, but also the specific KFC seasoning. There were herbs, and it had a good taste. A little weird on a piece of popcorn, but ultimately very nice. Unfortunately, not every piece had that much seasoning; in fact, some had almost none and were a bit bland. This made the whole bag feel a bit disappointing at times. Although the well-seasoned pieces were tasty, I was still having problems with the idea of chicken-flavoured popcorn, so now that the novelty has worn off and the bag is finished, I wouldn’t rush out for another bag of Proper KFC Popcorn Chicken Popcorn.
