How to Cook Chicken Lollipops
- Creating the "lollipops" is not too difficult, but takes a bit of verbal dexterity to explain it, so bear with me...
- A complete wing has three parts (and two joints). Divide the chicken wing into its three separate parts by slicing through the joints with a sharp, heavy knife. We will not be using the wing tip, so discard or set aside to use in a stock.
- You now have two parts of each the chicken wing - one with a single bone and the one with two bones. Start by selecting the part with just one bone and separate the meat from the end of the bone by sliding a sharp knife just around the tip of the bone where the meat is still connected (do not cut through the bone).
- Place the wing vertically on top of a flat surface while holding the part where the knife passed. Gently push downward while gripping the bone with your thumb and index finger until the meat slides down. Do the same for the part with two bones, but first detach the smaller bone. Now mould the meat into "lollipop" shapes with your hands.
- Now you have the lollipops shaped, boil them in salted water for 8- 10 minutes then remove them and set them aside. Meanwhile, grind (mince) the green chilies, then mix all the batter ingredients thoroughly to make a thick batter. (Being just a flavour enhancer, the Ajinomoto is optional). Heat the oil in a deep pan, dip the meaty part of each lollipop into the thick batter and fry on medium heat until they are a light brown colour. Serve hot.
MAMTHA SUNIL KUMAR'S HOT TIP:
If you have too many lollipops for the pan, cook them in batches and keep the others warm on a plate with kitchen paper to absorb any oil.
Reviews of Chicken Lollipops
February 24 2015 I came, I saw, I ate! Tasty but maybe not worth the time it takes to make them. To amuse your guests, they would be fun though. dantheman (19 reviews) |
What To Eat Tonight
No mess, no fuss, just throw it in the oven and leave it alone till it's ready to eat. That's the approximate theory! How close do we get?
Chicken breasts are thought by some people as being dry yet, properly prepared and cooked, nothing could be further from the truth.
Just because it's healthy doesn't mean it needs to be boring and tasteless! Take a look at out healthy recipes for some great ideas.
