Chicken Lollipop made at home from scratch, and all in less than 30 minutes of active cooking time!

Ingredients:

15 chicken lollipop pieces

1st Marinade:

• 2 tbsp red chili paste
• 2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp chili vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt

2nd Marinate:

• 2 tablespoon corn flour
• 2 tablespoon rice flour
• 2 tablespoon maida / all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon kashmiri chili powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoon water adjust as needed

Method:

First Marination:

• In a large bowl, mix together red chilli paste, ginger garlic paste, soy sauce, chilli vinegar, and salt.
• Mix in the chicken lollipop pieces, and let the chicken marinate in the spice mix for 15-20 minutes.

Second Marination:

• In a bowl, mix together corn flour, rice flour, maida, red & kashmiri chilli powder, salt & pepper powder, and add the mix to the marinated chicken, along with some water, and mix everything together. Adjust the quantity of water required little by little as there will be some moisture from the earlier marinade.
• The goal is to get a semi thick paste-like marinade, that you will need to ensure is applied somewhat evenly over the lollipop pieces right before frying them. You might also need to re-shape the lollipop pieces before spreading out the marinade on them, just before you fry them.
• Frying Chicken Lollipops

Frying Chicken Lollipops:

In a frying pan, heat up the oil, and drop the lollipop pieces, a few at a time, so as to not overcrowd the pan, and fry for 5-7 minutes till the chicken has cooked, and has turned crisp and golden brown. Sprinkle with chaat masala, and serve with schezwan chutney or green chutney.
