Chicken lollipop
Chicken lollipop is a delicious and popular appetizer that consists of a chicken drumstick or wingette that is frenched, meaning the meat is pushed down towards the end of the bone to resemble a lollipop. It's typically marinated in flavorful spices, coated in a batter, and deep-fried until crispy and golden. Chicken lollipops are often served with a tangy dipping sauce as an appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken drumsticks or wingettes (about 8 pieces)
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 egg
- Oil for deep frying
- spring onions chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the chicken drumsticks or wingettes to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the batter by combining all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and the egg. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to medium-high heat.
- Take each marinated chicken piece and dip it in the batter, ensuring it is coated completely.
- Carefully drop the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. Make sure to fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken lollipops from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Garnish with chopped spring onions for a fresh touch.
- Serve the delicious chicken lollipops hot with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
