STEP 1
START WITH THE BASICS → Prep your lollies:
Clean the chicken lollipops and pat them dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, mix the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favourite spices. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes to an hour.
STEP 2
SET THE STAGE FOR MAGIC→Prep the crunch:
For the dry coating, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder in a large bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk. This is your wet coating.
STEP 3
FLOUR AND REPEAT → Layer on the flavour:
Dredge each marinated chicken lollipop in the dry flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess flour. Then dip the floured chicken lollipop into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring it’s fully covered. Once more, dredge the chicken lollipop again in the dry flour mixture for a second coat. This double coating helps to achieve maximum crispiness.
STEP 4
LET IT SIZZLE → Into the frying pan:
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid greasy chicken. Fry the chicken lollipops in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried chicken lollipops and place them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
