Crispy Chicken Lollipop

Ingredients 10 (880g) Chicken Drumsticks Salt & Pepper to taste 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce 4 Tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste ¼ Cup Flour ⅛ Cup Cornflour 3 Tbsp Chilli Paste Water as required Oil, for frying Steps Step 1 Place the drumstick on a cutting board and cut flesh from the top of the joint. Scrape down the flesh to the bottom of the drumstick using a sharp knife such that the bone is clean and you have a perfect chicken lollipop. Repeat with all the drumsticks. Step 2 Transfer the lollipops to a large bowl, add salt, pepper, soy sauce and 2 tsp ginger-garlic paste. Mix well and rest for 15 minutes. Step 3 In the meantime, add flour, cornflour, 2 tsp ginger-garlic paste, salt, pepper, chilli paste and water in another bowl. Mix well to form a thick batter. Add more water if required. Step 4 In a deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat for frying. Step 5 Next, dip the chicken lollipops one-by-one into the batter and lower into the hot oil. Cook in batches for 7-8 minutes until golden brown. Take out the lollipops out of the oil for 10 seconds and return to the hot oil to cook for a further 3-4 minutes until crispy. Repeat with remaining lollipops. Step 6 Once cooked, drain on a paper towel. Step 7 Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot with sweet chilli sauce. Leave Comment
