Topic: Appetizers
Lipipop, as my 2 years old son called it! Chicken lollipop is an appetizer that is made from the segments of chicken wings. The middle segment has one of the two bones removed, and the flesh on the segments is pushed to one end of the bone. That will make it into lollipop. It is very popular in some Indian and Chinese restaurant, they colored it red but I don't like adding colors to the foods I cooked, I like it very natural.
Ingredients:
12 pcs. chicken wings
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp. black pepper powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. chili powder
Oil for deep frying
Marinade:
1/3 cup Italian Dressing (original flavor)
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. honey
1/2 tsp. ginger powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Directions:
1. Break each chicken wing into two parts at the joint. Take each part and pull back the meat from one end of the bone to the other carefully, making sure that you do not pull the meat completely out.
2. Combine the marinade in a bowl and marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
3. Transfer the mixture to a pan and heat, simmer for about 5 minutes. Drain and let dry.
4. In a separate bowl, mix flour, broth, black pepper, salt and chili powder. Blend until smooth.
5. Dip each meaty section of the chicken to the flour batter.
6. Deep fry the chicken lollipops in the hot oil by holding the tip of the bone and placing the meaty section of the lollipop in the oil. Fry until golden brown.
7. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
Tips: Cover the bones with aluminum foil so that it will be more comfortable for you to hold it.
