Ingredients

• 1 kg Chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons Garlic paste
• 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Red chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 1 Egg
• 0 for deep frying Oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken wings. Use a sharp knife to separate the joint between the drumette and the wingette. Set aside the wingettes for another use.

Step 2

French the drumettes by pushing the meat down towards the base to create a lollipop shape. Take care to remove any excess cartilage or tendons, leaving a clean bone exposed at the top.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine garlic paste, ginger paste, soy sauce, red chili powder, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the prepared chicken lollipops to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to develop.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.

Step 6

In another bowl, beat the egg lightly.

Step 7

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each lollipop first into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 8

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.

Step 9

Carefully place the coated chicken lollipops into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 10

Fry the lollipops until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn occasionally to ensure even browning.

Step 11

Remove the fried lollipops with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the chicken lollipops hot, garnished with chopped spring onions or coriander if desired, along with your choice of dipping sauce.
