Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Lollipops:
  • 1 pound chicken lollipops
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup oil for frying

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Frying pan or deep skillet
  • Tongs
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by cleaning the chicken lollipops. If you haven’t purchased them prepped, you can easily make your own by pushing the meat down towards the bone, creating a lollipop shape.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, paprika, ginger powder, pepper, and chili powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
  3. Add the chicken lollipops to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. This mixture will create a crispy coating. Beat the egg in a separate bowl and set it aside.
  5. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each lollipop in the egg first, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the flour and cornstarch mixture until fully coated.
  6. In a frying pan or deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  7. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken lollipops to the pan, frying for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Once cooked, remove the Chicken Lollipops from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
