chicken lollipops are typically prepared using the middle segment of chicken wings (the drumette or wingette). The meat is carefully scraped and pushed down toward one end of the bone, forming a rounded "lollipop" shape. This exposes a clean bone handle while concentrating the meat at one end.
The raw meat is then marinated in a mixture of ingredients such as ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, soy sauce, salt, and sometimes vinegar or lemon juice for tanginess. After marination, the lollipops are coated in a batter made from cornflour, all-purpose flour, and egg, giving them a slightly sticky and seasoned surface ready for frying.
