Ingredients

• 12 pieces Chicken wings
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
• 0.5 cup Coconut yogurt
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Rice flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken wings. Using a sharp knife, separate the drumette from the flat section. Carefully cut around the tip of each drumette and push the meat down towards the base to create a lollipop shape.

Step 2

In a blender, combine garlic cloves and ginger. Blend until a smooth paste forms.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, sweet paprika, and coconut yogurt to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the chicken lollipops to the marinade, mixing thoroughly to ensure even coating. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 5

In a separate shallow dish, combine cornstarch, rice flour, and baking powder.

Step 6

Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Coat each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 7

In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully add chicken lollipops to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lemon wedges or your choice of dipping sauce.
