Chicken lollipop is a popular appetizer made from chicken wings or drumettes. Here’s a simple recipe to make chicken lollipops:

### Ingredients:
– Chicken wings or drumettes (10-12 pieces)
– 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon red chili sauce
– 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
– 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice
– Salt to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (maida)
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 egg
– Oil for deep frying

### For Garnish (optional):
– Spring onions, finely chopped
– Sesame seeds

### Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Chicken:**
– Take each chicken wing or drumette and separate the meat from the thinner end. Push the meat downwards to form a “lollipop” shape. You can also remove the smaller bone if desired.

2. **Marinate the Chicken:**
– In a bowl, mix ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, red chili sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar (or lemon juice), salt, and black pepper powder.
– Coat the chicken lollipops with this marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

3. **Prepare the Coating:**
– In a shallow bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour (maida), cornstarch, a pinch of salt, and pepper.

4. **Coat the Chicken:**
– In a separate bowl, beat an egg.
– Dip each marinated chicken lollipop in the beaten egg and then coat it with the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.

5. **Frying the Chicken:**
– Heat oil for deep frying in a pan or kadai over medium-high heat.
– Carefully place the coated chicken lollipops into the hot oil, a few at a time.
– Fry until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Make sure to turn them occasionally for even cooking.

6. **Drain and Serve:**
– Once cooked, remove the chicken lollipops from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
– Serve hot, garnished with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds if desired.
