What Are Chicken Lollipops?

If you want to make a super easy food with many health benefits, then Chicken Lollipops are the better option. This is a fusion of Indian, Pakistani, and Chinese food.

Why Lollipop Chicken? 

·      Kids Favorite 

Kids can give you a hard time due to their unexpected eating habits. So, in this case, you need something attractive and delicious. Chicken lollipops are kids’ favorite, so use fewer spices and less oil to give them a healthy homemade food alternative.

·   Pack with Flavor 

Eggs and the top coating of breadcrumbs are the beauty of their external looks. Their brown shade and the beauty of their shape make them mouthwatering. However, spices are subjective, so add as much as you need.

·      Proteins 

Chicken is a source of energy and growth due to its protein and calorie content. So, you can eat to get a good number of proteins. But use an air fryer instead of deep frying because oil can reduce nutrient values. 

So, please follow me to stay healthy and active with beneficial food suggestions.

 Chicken Lollipops Ingredients

         Chicken Wingettes/Drumettes: these are the primary ingredients of this delicious food. Firstly, pull off the skin of the chicken and clean the bone to look like a lollipop. Secondly, use a sharp chef’s knife to make perfectly shaped lollipops by pushing the skin downward.

• Garlic powder: this is a fine powder of dehydrated cloves of garlic, and it is used for marination. You can purchase it from grocery stores or make it at home by drying, cleaning, and maturing garlic. The use of garlic powder gives a sharp aroma and sticky texture.
• Onion powder: onion powder is one of the best options to reduce the cooking process. This tear-free powder is used in the marination of chicken lollipops. However, do you know why we are not using onion/garlic paste? It is due to avoiding a watery texture. Onion powder is readily available at grocery stores but tries to make it at home to prevent all nasty elements.
• Salt and pepper- they add delicious flavor to the chicken. Season according to your liking.
•  Paprika: We will use it for marination for a sharp and tangy flavor.
• All-purpose flour is a primary ingredient of marination that gives an uneven crunchy texture. This flour is mostly part of cakes, bread, pizza dough, and crusts. 
•  Eggs: eggs are used for the coating of marinated chicken.
• Oil: Oil is used for deep frying.

How Do You Store?

You can store marinated chicken in an airtight box or zip-lock bags for 3-4 weeks. But before frying, it is necessary to defrost the chicken lollipops. Otherwise, they will remain uncooked from the inside. Don’t freeze them again after defrosting because it will cause an unhygienic coating.
