Baked Chicken Lollipop Recipe | Easy Chicken Lollipop Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chicken lollipop is an hot and spicy starter prepared from whole chicken wings shaped into lollipop/drumettes.Though I love the taste of this Chicken lollipop a lot,I don’t prefer eating it in restaurant, as it is deep fried and added MSG,popularly known as tasting powder,makes it very unhealthy.

I prepared it at home couple of times avoiding msg but anyhow it was again deep fried….,I can never be happy when anything is deep fried ,especially MEAT.So I came up with this combination of grilled & baking mode in my oven and I was so happy to get these perfectly tenderised juicy chicken lollipops,I couldn’t make out any difference with deep fried or baked chicken,it tasted real Yum :).If you don’t mind frying the chicken in oil,you can follow the same recipe and go ahead with deep frying it,but I recommend not to deep fry meat and eat often. But if you don’t have a oven and there is a party at home ,then once in a while you can relish the taste of this deep fried lollipop. I’m very much sure that you would love this taste…..,just give a try and let me know how it turned out.
