- Legs

These wings are also rich in unhealthy, saturated fats which may be a cause for high cholesterol (approximately 3% in each wing) related problems. So, it’s most suitable for kids and adults should either have them sparingly or if they have cholesterol issues, then they should avoid chicken wings completely.

Here’s a link How to make chicken lollipops, that can teach you how to get lollipops or drumettes out of chicken wings (if you can’t get them made at any meat shop, I got mine made from Jalal Son’s main-market) Honestly, I couldn’t have explained better.
These drumettes freeze well as well.
Chicken drumettes | 6 |
Red Chili Powder | 2 tsp |
Garlic paste | 1 tsp |
Vinegar | 1 tbsp |
Mustard Paste | 1 tbsp |
Roasted cumin powder (zeera) | 2 tsp |
Oregano powder | 1/2 tsp |
Black pepper powder | 1/2 tsp |
Salt | 1/2 tsp |
Egg | 1, for coating |
Corn flour | for coating |
Oil | for deep frying |
Instructions:
- Marinate your chicken lollipop drumsticks or drumettes in mustard paste, cumin powder, red chili powder, oregano powder, black pepper powder, salt, garlic paste and vinegar.
- Prick the chicken with fork for the flavours to seep deep into the meat but, don’t over do it, please.
- You can even freeze your chicken drumettes at this point and then continue when you wanna fry them.
- Coat each lollipop in corn flour first.
- Then carefully coat it in egg.
- Now coat it either in all-purpose flour or breadcrumbs, as you please. You’ll get a light crispy coating over chicken lollipop drumsticks if you coat them in all-purpose flour. While the breadcrumbs coating will be a wee bit heavier but more crunchier, so the choice is yours, as always 😀
