'Bubble Pickin' ..............darn it boy ,we call that 'Chicken Pickin' round these parts Pardner !

I'm gonna be the guy that's no fun at parties for a minute. 

Can't help it, it's the guitar teacher brain and I can't switch it off.

Chicken and bubble (or "popcorn") picking are two different techniques but in the same family.

Bubble picking is derived as an extension of the funk sixteenth note strumming thing which Nile Rodgers always demonstrates oh so well. Continuous sixteenth notes are happening but only so many actual notes are popping out with muted notes filling in the gaps. 

Chicken pickin' is deployed much more freely over phrases, bars, and individual notes. Using a muted click either right before or right after a note to generate the "clucking" sound. There's no real need for it to be continuous in any way, you can cluck away as much or as little as your heart desires whereas the bubble picking thing should be used in a similar way to funk strumming ideally. You can't really bubble pick one note, but you can chicken pick one note. 

This^

Sometimes you hear fast country playing referred to as chicken pickin’ but that’s not right either, it is just that perrcuck sound (although there is more than one way to achieve it)and so not just in country.
