Description
Crispy, succulent chicken wings prepared in a lollipop style with a savory spice blend.
Ingredients
Scale
1 pound chicken lollipops
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1 large egg
1/2 cup oil
Instructions
- Whisk together garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, paprika, ginger, pepper, and chili powder in a large bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and beaten egg to create the coating mixture.
- Pat the chicken lollipops dry with paper towels. If using whole wings, French them by cutting the tendons at the base and pushing the meat to the top.
- Toss the chicken lollipops in the spice mixture first to coat every piece evenly.
- Add the flour and egg mixture to the seasoned chicken and mix thoroughly until a thick batter coats the meat.
- Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in small batches for 3-4 minutes until the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on a wire rack and serve hot.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is hot before frying to prevent sogginess.
- To French the chicken, use a very sharp paring knife for safety.
- You can substitute white vinegar with apple cider vinegar if preferred.
