• Vegetable oil - For frying
• Water - 1 cup
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 1/4 cup
• All - purpose flour - 1 cup
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Five - spice powder - 1 teaspoon

• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Boneless chicken thighs - 1 lb, cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, garlic powder, five-spice powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and water to make a batter.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
4. Dip the marinated chicken pieces into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-6 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise, and lime juice to make the sauce.
6. To assemble the wraps, spread a spoonful of the sauce onto each warmed tortilla. Top with a handful of shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, chopped cilantro, and a generous portion of the crispy popcorn chicken.
7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
8. Serve the Taiwanese popcorn chicken wraps immediately and enjoy!
