Description

• Chicken lollipops are created by "frenching" chicken drumettes, meaning the meat is pushed down the bone to resemble a lollipop.
• The chicken is then marinated in a blend of spices, ginger-garlic paste, and sauces.
• It's coated in a batter and deep-fried until crispy.
• Finally, the lollipops are often tossed in a spicy-sweet sauce.

Key Recipe elements:

• Preparing the Chicken:
• • The chicken drumette is the primary cut of chicken used. The meat is pushed back from the small end of the bone, to form the lollipop shape.
• Marination:
• • Common marinade ingredients include ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, soy sauce, vinegar, and other spices.
• Battering and Frying:
• • A batter of cornstarch, flour, and spices creates a crispy coating.
  • The chicken is deep-fried until golden brown and cooked through.
• Sauce (Optional):
• • A typical sauce consists of ingredients like chili sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, and vinegar, providing a sweet and spicy glaze.
