Felicity's Chicken Lollipop

Chicken lollipops are special treats for not only kids but for adults as well.  I can not remember a time when I did not see chicken lollipops in a party before.  They are always the best sellers for any celebration.  They're easy to get, easy to eat and no mess. 

The chicken lollipop recipes that you would always find on net or cookbooks would mostly tell you to marinate the chicken with salt and pepper and that's all about it.  With a husband and daughters who love tasty food, I would always make sure that the food I prepare would be really yummy.  This dish is the best fried chicken he had ever had according to my husband.  He had 8 pieces and my daughter had some too.  Before I knew it, there's none on the plate anymore.

Ingredients

1/2 k chicken wings

1/4 c fish sauce

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp thyme

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp garlic granules

1 egg, beaten

1 c White Wings Crumb in One Mixture

Procedure

Meat Preparation

Remove the wing tips and bin them (or set aside if you want to use them)

Separate the drumette (the part that looks like a small drumstick) from the wing (the part with two little bones) by cutting.

Make small cuts at the smaller end bone of the drumette and slide the meat towards the bigger end bone.  Mold it like a lollipop using your hands. 

Find the smaller bone tips (end bones) in the wing.  Remove the smaller of the two bones by making a small cut on the smaller end bones.  Slide the meat towards the bigger end bones until you can remove the smaller bone.  Do this with care because you don't want the meat separate from both bones.  Mold it like lollipop using your hands.

Place the chicken lollipops in a bowl and drizzle with fish sauce.  Put in pepper, garlic granules and paprika.  Make sure that the marinade is well spread in all chicken lollipops.  Use hands in mixing.

Set aside the chicken lollipops for 30 minutes.

Frying
Dip the chicken lollipos onto the beaten egg and then roll onto the bread crumbs.
Deep fry.
Serve with your favorite dip

Note:  If you do not have panko bread crumbs, you can use the ordinary one.  If you are feeling adventurous, try the quick oats.  If you want more flavor, use the White Wings Crumb in One mixture.
