Chicken Lollipop Made At Home So Easy My Food Story

on Feb 28, 2020, Updated Jul 03, 2024 I love double dipping my chicken lollipop in schezwan sauce. Because I love that extra sweet and spicy hit! Alright so it looks like I’m on a Chinese takeout roll here. It was egg fried rice first and now we are coming in strong with these chicken lollipops. I can’t help it there. I love chinese food and I love creating my favorites at home. It’s like a challenge to see if I can get really close to the restaurant style taste or make it taste even better! This time I’ve come so close to getting that crispy juicy perfection that we all love so much. And it’s so easy you won’t believe it! It’s all in the batter. The lollipops are marinated first, for about half an hour. That’s all you need for marination. And then dipped into a batter made with cornflour, all purpose flour and rice flour (for an extra crispy coating) and fried till golden brown. Full disclaimer: I don’t know how to trim the meat and make chicken lollipops myself, so I just buy them ready from the store. You can check out this video if you’d like to prep chicken lollipops yourself. I feel like these are also kid friendly. Kids love eating things that they can pick up and bite. Which makes these super convenient. You can reduce the spice in this to make these for your toddler! When you order chicken lollipop at a restaurant, they’ll always be a deep red colour. That comes from food coloring. Which we are staying away from. I like using chilli powder which also gives it that same reddish hue. Check out my homemade schezwan sauce recipe too. I make it in a big batch and refrigerate it. It’s so handy when I’m making lollipops, crispy veg nuggets or schezwan fried rice!
