Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Prepare the chicken drumettes by frenching them: Using a sharp knife, cut through the skin and tendons around the narrow end of the drumette and push the meat down towards the thicker end to create a 'lollipop' shape.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken lollipops.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each spiced chicken lollipop in the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Roll the egg-coated chicken drumette in the almond flour-Parmesan mixture, pressing down lightly to adhere the coating.
Place the coated chicken drumettes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the coated chicken lollipops to help them crisp while baking.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken lollipops are golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C).
Serve the low carb chicken lollipops hot as a delicious appetizer or party snack.
