Tasty vegetable Stir-Fry with Tofu:
How to make tasty chicken lollipop
Ingredients:
- Chicken wings or drumettes
- Cooking oil for frying
- For the marinade: You can use a variety of ingredients like soy sauce, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and lemon juice. The specific ingredients can vary based on your taste preferences.
Instructions:
Prepare the chicken:
- Start by cleaning the chicken wings or drumettes. Trim the excess skin and meat from the bone end, leaving a clean bone "handle" for each piece. This is what gives them the lollipop shape.
Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the marinade ingredients of your choice. You can make a spicy marinade or a more mild one depending on your taste. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Heat the oil: In a deep frying pan or a deep fryer, heat the cooking oil to about 350-375°F (175-190°C).
Fry the chicken: Carefully place the marinated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, usually for about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain and serve: Remove the chicken lollipops from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, barbecue sauce, or a spicy chili sauce.
