Ingredients
- 12 pieces Chicken drumettes
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop Whey protein isolate
- 2 tablespoons Ginger garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Begin by turning each chicken drumette into a lollipop by cutting the skin around the narrow end of the drumette and pushing the meat down to the thick end. This creates a nice round shape on one end while exposing the bone on the other.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, whey protein isolate, ginger garlic paste, soy sauce, lemon juice, paprika, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the marinade is well blended.
Step 3
Add the chicken lollipops to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For best results, marinate overnight.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Arrange the marinated chicken lollipops on the prepared wire rack, spacing them evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. You can turn on the broiler during the last 2-3 minutes to achieve a crispier texture.
Step 7
Remove the chicken lollipops from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot as a protein-rich appetizer or snack. Enjoy your high protein chicken lollipops!
