How do you make Cheese Popchicken at home?

Why does the cheese leak out of Cheese Popchicken?

What should you serve with Cheese Popchicken?

What is Cheese Popchicken?
Cheese Popchicken consists of bite-sized chicken pieces filled with cheese, coated in breadcrumbs and fried. It is a convenient prepared snack rather than a traditional dish with a single regional origin. The coating turns crisp while the chicken stays tender, with a soft, savoury cheese centre when served hot.
It works as a party bite, a casual snack or a side with chips and dipping sauces; in many places, it also appears on fast-food menus. For a lighter meal, pair a modest portion with salad or vegetables and go easy on rich sauces. The breading contributes carbohydrates and the fried coating adds fat, while each 100 g provides 16.8 g of protein.
