CHICKEN LOLLIPOP
     Chicken Lollipops, as the name suggests, are lollipops made with frenched chicken wings to get the desired shape by exposing the length of bone and collecting the flesh up into a fold.  This style helps you to hold the Lollipops and bite onto the succulent meat heartily.  These Chicken Lollipops are of Indo-Chinese Origin, and it's one of the notable hors d'oeuvre, commonly referred to as Appetizers around the world.
          Chicken Lollipop is one of the must order dish when we dine out. Most of the restaurants in India cater this dish in their own style.  Chicken Lollipops are normally marinated with seasonings, sauces and then deep fried.  But my recipe is a version coated with Bread Crumbs, they are crunchier to your bite with a mild note of sweetness.  These serve as a good starter for parties.  Kids would love these Crispy little Lollipops.
     The major part of preparation starts with Frenching* the Chicken Wings, it's a bit of a tedious work, but once done the job gets easier, marinate them, coat them with bread crumbs and then deep fry the chicken lollipops in hot oil. Serve it with any preferred Sauce or Dip to add the Pep!

    *HOW TO FRENCH CHICKEN WINGS FOR CHICKEN LOLLOPOP:

    CHICKEN LOLLIPOPS
    FRENCHING CHICKEN WINGS
     A whole Chicken Wing consists of
                             - a drumstick at one end
                             - a drummette in the middle, and
                             - a pointed wing tip at the other end.
    • Make a deep cut through the joints with a sharp knife. 
    • Hold the wing tip, bend it forcefully, remove it and keep it aside.  
    • What we are going to use for this recipe is just the two portions of a whole chicken wing, the drumstick and the drummette.
    • Once the wing tip is removed, place the other portion of the wing on a cutting board and make a deep cut through the joints between the drumstick and the drummette. Bend the joints and separate them.
    • Then gripping well on to the exposed bone of the drumstick, gently push and gather all the flesh to one end.
    • Take the drummette and remove the smaller bone carefully, leaving the other bone intact.
    • Holding on to the other bone, push all the flesh to one end.
    • Follow the suit for all the other Chicken Wings.
    • The Drumstick and Drummette are now ready to be marinated.
