Preparing Chicken Lollipop
The actual key, and perhaps the most important, in making this recipe is to properly prepare the lollipop from the chicken wings. The method itself is rather straightforward. Gaining proficiency in crafting the ideal lollipops may require some practice; even if you don’t achieve perfection the first time, you’ll quickly learn how to repeat the procedure.
Slice the chicken wing into three pieces; the wingette and drumette sections can be used to make lollipops, and the wingtip is not needed in this recipe but can be saved to make stock for later.
After cutting the slices, it’s time to combine the wingette and drumette to form a structure resembling a lollipops. To accomplish this, push all of the meat to one side of the bone and remove it from one end of the bone. Generally, it’s simple to push loose meat toward the other end, but occasionally, a little assistance from a knife may be needed. If you’re still unsure about how to prepare the lollipops, I recommend watching the video below and following the instructions. The ingredients and a comprehensive recipe for making this delectable dish are covered below; just follow the instructions to prepare it at yourself.
