Ingredients:

For Marinating the Chicken:

• 10-12 chicken drumettes (wingettes)
• 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp red chili sauce
• 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
• 1 tsp vinegar
• 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
• Salt to taste

For Coating:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• 1/2 tsp red chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt to taste
• Oil for deep frying

For Garnish:

• Chopped spring onions (green part)
• Sesame seeds (optional)
• Lemon wedges

Instructions:

1. Marinating the Chicken:

   • In a bowl, combine ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, red chili sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, black pepper powder, and salt.
   • Add the chicken drumettes to the marinade and mix well, ensuring they are coated evenly.
   • Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

2. Coating the Chicken:

   • In a shallow bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornflour, red chili powder, garlic powder, and salt to taste.
   • Take each marinated chicken drumette and coat it evenly with the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the chicken.
   • Shake off any excess flour and place the coated chicken drumettes on a plate.

3. Frying the Chicken:

   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan or fryer over medium-high heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken drumettes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
   • Fry the chicken drumettes for 6-8 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
   • Remove the fried chicken drumettes from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

4. Garnishing and Serving:

   • Transfer the fried Chicken Lollipops to a serving platter.
   • Garnish with chopped spring onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
   • Serve hot with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce, such as chili sauce or mayonnaise.
