Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Lollipops

• To create the "lollipop" shape, push the meat upward on each wing piece, exposing the bone for easy handling.

• In a bowl, mix the chicken with salt, pepper, ginger paste, garlic paste, soy sauce, and Kashmiri red chili powder.

• Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).

2. Coat and Fry the Chicken

• In a separate bowl, combine cornflour, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, and salt. Gradually add water and mix until smooth.

• Coat each marinated wing in the batter, ensuring an even layer.

• Heat oil in a deep pan or wok to 350°F (175°C) and fry the wings for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel.

3. Make the Sauce

• In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat.

• Sauté the chopped garlic until fragrant. Add ketchup, Schezwan sauce, and soy sauce, stirring well.

• Toss the crispy chicken into the sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated.

4. Garnish and Serve

• Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve hot.
