Ingredients:

500 grams chicken wings

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons tomato ketchup

1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste

1 tablespoon red chili sauce

1 teaspoon vinegar

1 teaspoon red chili powder

1 teaspoon black pepper powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 egg, beaten

Oil for deep frying

Spring onion greens, finely chopped (for garnish)

Prepare the Chicken:

a. Start by cleaning the chicken wings thoroughly and pat them dry using paper towels.

b. Hold the chicken wing and carefully push the flesh down towards the base to form a lollipop shape. Remove any excess skin or fat.

Marinate the Chicken:

a. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, tomato ketchup, ginger-garlic paste, red chili sauce, vinegar, red chili powder, black pepper powder, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

b. Add the chicken lollipops to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Prepare the Batter:

a. In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch and all-purpose flour.

b. Gradually add the beaten egg while whisking the mixture to form a smooth batter. Adjust the consistency by adding a little water if needed. The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken lollipops.

Deep-Fry the Chicken Lollipops:

a. Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat.

b. Dip each marinated chicken lollipop into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.

c. Gently place the coated chicken lollipop into the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

d. Fry the chicken lollipops for about 6-8 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

e. Remove the fried chicken lollipops using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve and Garnish:

a. Arrange the chicken lollipops on a serving platter.

b. Garnish with finely chopped spring onion greens for a fresh and vibrant touch.

c. Serve hot with a side of chili sauce, tomato ketchup, or any dip of your choice.
