How To Prepare Chicken Lollipop

Marination Of The Chicken lollipop -

4. Once done, before preparing the batter to cook the lollipops add 1 egg and mix the pieces again.

5. Leave it for 15-20 minutes.

6. Meanwhile, take another bowl, add 1 tsp chili paste, some chili powder, cornflour, refined flour ( maida), salt, and mix the dry ingredients together.

7. Now add water in small portions and whisk it to avoid any lumps. Keep doing this until we get a thick and partially runny batter.

The Cooking of Chicken Lollipops -

1. Heat 1 ½ cup of cooking/sunflower oil in a kadhai.

2. Once the oil is fully heated up, take a lollipop piece and dip it fully in the prepared batter. The piece should be fully coated with the batter.

3. Place the piece in the kadhai and let it cook on medium flame. Follow the same procedure for other pieces.

4. Make sure not to add more than 3-4 pieces while cooking.

5. Deep fry the pieces until all the sides are well cooked, crispy, and dark brown in color.

6. After cooking all the chicken pieces, take a non-stick pan and heat some oil ( 1 tbsp). You can use the same oil used for cooking the chicken pieces.

7. Once the oil heats up, add some finely chopped garlic, saute for a minute.

8. Next add red chili paste, tomato sauce, Schezwan sauce, soya sauce, and mix it together.

9. Add ½ or ¼ cup of water and mix well for 2 -3 minutes on low to medium flame.

10. Once the sauce thickens, add the cooked lollipop pieces and mix it well so that the sauce gets coated on it.

11. Give a few tosses and mix and finally add some chopped spring onion greens.

12. Mix it well, switch off the flame and your chicken lollipops are ready.
