Chicken Drumsticks/Lollipops

Chicken Drumsticks or Chicken Lollipops is one of my all-time favorite appetizers. Manchow soup and drums of heaven(chicken drumsticks) are my permanent dishes to order from the menu when I step in any Indo-Chinese restaurant. Finally, I got a recipe that I can make at home and relish whenever I want to. It comes out so good that it will be on a repeat mode in your list of to-do chicken dishes :)

Let's get straight to the making of these heavenly drumsticks as the name suggests:

CHICKEN LOLLIPOPS/DRUMSTICKS

Ingredients:

• 12 chicken wings
• 2 tbsp soya sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tbsp chilli sauce
• 1 tbsp chilli vinegar
• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• 1/4th tsp pepper powder
• 2 eggs
• 1/4th tsp chilli powder
• 2 tbsp corn starch
• 1/4th tsp soya sauce( low sodium )
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs ( or more )
• salt as per taste (use less as we are using soya sauce too)
• 2 cups oil to fry

  

  DRUMS OF HEAVEN

Preparation:

• Clean and rinse chicken wings, pat dry and with a sharp knife make a cut at the base of the wing and scrape all the flesh upwards making a lollipop. The bone is revealed in the form of a stick, with the flesh gathered on top, so it looks like a lollipop. (this technique is called frenching)
• Make a marinade by adding soy sauce, chilli sauce, chilli vinegar, ginger garlic paste, pepper powder, salt. Pour this marinade over chicken lollipops, mix properly and refrigerate it for 2-3 hours. 
• In a bowl crack open 2 eggs, whisk it briefly, add chilli powder, corn starch, salt and soya sauce. Mix everything together. In another bowl keep bread crumbs ready.
• Take one lollipop at a time, dip in this egg mixture, and then roll it in bread crumbs.
• Heat oil in a kadai or dutch oven, on med-high heat, fry chicken lollipops in batches, until golden brown and till cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain briefly before serving. Serve with chutney or your favorite sauce for dipping.
  

Njoy!!

Notes: Adjust the chilli sauce and soya sauce as per your taste.
