Chicken lollipop is a popular Indian fried chicken appetiser. Chicken lollipop is essentially a frenched chicken winglet, wherein the meat is cut loose from the bone end and pushed down, creating a lollipop appearance.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/all-the-different-styles-of-fried-chicken-thrillist-nation|title=The 10 Best Types of Fried Chicken, Explained|date=27 July 2018|website=Thrillist|access-date=20 September 2019}}

Recipe

Recipes vary at different restaurants.[https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/chicken-lollipop-recipe/ “Chicken Lollipop Recipe.”] Swasthi's Recipes, 11 Dec. 2021. Retrieved 18 February 2022 However, many start by using the middle segment of the chicken wing or thigh. The middle segment has one of the two bones removed, and the flesh on the segments is pushed to one end of the bone. These are then coated in a spicy red batter whose main ingredients include red chili powder, and turmeric.{{Cite web|url=http://www.grouprecipes.com/69349/chicken-lollipops.html|title=Chicken Lollipops Recipe|website=www.grouprecipes.com|access-date=20 September 2019}} The coated chicken is then marinated for a couple of hours. The marinated chicken is usually deep fried in oil, but another choice is baking the chicken. The exposed bone is sometimes wrapped in aluminum foil.
