Best Chicken Lollipops
Description
These chicken lollipops are a fun, succulent and juicy chicken wing appetizer. The secret is an easy red-tinged chili, garlic, and soy marinade.
Ingredients
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 teaspoon soy sauce
•
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
•
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
•
1 teaspoon finely chopped green chile peppers
•
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
•
1 drop red food coloring
•
10 chicken wings
•
4 tablespoons cornstarch
•
2 quarts canola oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
1
Whisk salt, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, green chiles, chili powder, and red food coloring together in a large bowl until even in color.
2
Push meat down to one end on each chicken wing; add wings to marinade and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4
Remove wings from marinade and shake off excess; mix cornstarch with marinade in the bowl to make a batter. Dip wings in the batter to coat.
5
Lower wings carefully into the hot oil working in batches if needed; fry until cooked through and crispy, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
