## Tips

- When calculating the macros for the popcorn chicken, make sure to weigh the chicken before and after you dip it in corn starch for more accurate results. This will tell you exactly how much corn starch stuck to the chicken. Even though 1 cup of corn starch was used, only about a quarter of it stuck to the chicken itself.
