What is chicken lollipop ?
a popular dish in Indian subcontinent. And loved by all sections of the society. According to Wikipedia, it is essentially a frenched chicken winglet, wherein the meat is cut loose from the bone end and pushed down creating a lollipop appearance. It is usually served hot with schezwan sauce. It can be defined as spiced batter coated chicken wings( lollipops) deep fried till crisp golden.
When you order chicken lollipop at a restaurant, they’ll always be a deep red colour. That comes from food coloring, which we are staying away from. I like using kashmiri red chilli powder which also gives it that same reddish hue.

Usually prepared using the middle segment of the chicken wing or thigh. The middle segment has one of the two bones removed, and the flesh on the segments is pushed to one end of the bone. These are then coated in a spicy red batter. These are readily available in supermarkets also.
