Master Gourmet Spicy Chicken Lollipops: Easy Fried Recipe

Clean the chicken lollipops and make small incisions on the flesh for better marinade absorption. Ensure chicken is thoroughly dried before marinating.

In a bowl, add the chicken lollipops with ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.

In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, egg, and gradually add water until a thick, smooth batter forms without lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken well.

Dip each marinated chicken lollipop into the prepared batter, ensuring an even and complete coating. Heat cooking oil in a deep pan to medium-high heat (about 170-175°C). Carefully place the coated chicken lollipops into the hot oil and deep fry for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked thoroughly. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and dropping oil temperature.

Remove the fried chicken lollipops from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot, optionally garnished with chopped spring onions and accompanied by your favorite chili sauce. For an extra kick, toss with a spicy glaze after frying.
