Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Chicken wings
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
- 0.5 cup Coconut yogurt
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Rice flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken wings. Using a sharp knife, separate the drumette from the flat section. Carefully cut around the tip of each drumette and push the meat down towards the base to create a lollipop shape.
In a blender, combine garlic cloves and ginger. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
In a large bowl, mix the ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, sweet paprika, and coconut yogurt to create the marinade.
Add the chicken lollipops to the marinade, mixing thoroughly to ensure even coating. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
In a separate shallow dish, combine cornstarch, rice flour, and baking powder.
Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Coat each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add chicken lollipops to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lemon wedges or your choice of dipping sauce.
