Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken drumettes under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure the skin crisps up nicely during frying.

  2. 2

    Make the Coating

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Egg Wash

    In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. This will help the coating adhere better to the chicken.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accurate measurement.

  2. 5

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each drumette first into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the flour mixture until fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

  3. 6

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated drumettes in the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry in batches for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

  4. 7

    Drain the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken lollipops from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the chicken lollipops with fresh parsley and serve with your choice of dipping sauce. Enjoy!
