Chicken lollipop
Chicken Lollipop is one of the favorite and most loved spicy chicken appetizer. Chicken lollipop is basically chicken wings where the meat is cut loose from the bone and pushed down looking like a lollipop. It is one of most ordered dishes in a restaurant and also a great party snack. But making them at home is a better idea rather than ordering at a restaurant as you can cook it with good quality oil and ingredients.
This recipe is an indo-chinese style chicken lollipop. These can either be baked or fried and then sauted in the sauce. I personally love the fried one.
