Equipment
- Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- Whisk together the garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, paprika, ginger, pepper, and chili powder in a bowl. In another small bowl, combine together flour, cornstarch, and beaten egg.
- Pat dry the chicken lollipops. If you are using wings, 'French' them. Start by cutting around the base of the wing with a sharp knife. Remove the white tendons, clean the exposed bone, and push the meat toward the opposite end to form a lollipop shape.
- Toss the chicken lollipops in the spice mixture and coat evenly.
- Pour the mixture onto the chicken and mix well until it coats the meat well.
- Heat oil in a medium pot and cook the chicken in batches. Fry them for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
- Tip 1: Skip the seasoning blend. Douse the wings in sugar-free BBQ sauce or my hot honey sauce!
- Tip 2: Use other cuts of chicken. I tested this recipe with chicken drumsticks and chicken legs, and they both turned out great. Just cook them longer to compensate for the extra weight.
