In a large heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 3 to 4 popcorn kernels and cover the pot.
Once the test kernels pop, the oil is at the right temperature. Remove the test kernels with a spoon.
Add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot, sprinkle the granulated sugar over them evenly, and cover with the lid.
Shake the pot occasionally to prevent the kernels from burning, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Once the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
Immediately drizzle the honey over the popcorn, then sprinkle with salt.
Carefully stir the popcorn with a heat-resistant spatula or wooden spoon to ensure the honey coats the popcorn evenly.
Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl or baking sheet to cool slightly before serving.
