The cons of waking up too early on weekends is that I get hungry first so I have to do the cooking. The good thing is I get to do it my way. So today I saw a pack of chicken wings and decided to make those fancy chicken lollipops they serve during cocktail parties.
Ingredients:
- chicken wing (drumette or middle joint)
- salt and pepper
- flour
- egg
- milk
- Japanese bread crumbs
To Cook it:
- Strip off the the meat from the bone and remove the smaller bone if you are working on a middle joint.
- Pull all meat towards the one end of the bone so it forms like a huge lump.
- Season your chicken with salt and pepper.
Note: The nasty parts happen on the chopping board. I feel like it is a murder scene. And, not in the photos is a bucket full of patience. You'll need it before you eventually get the hang of skinning.
- Heat oil in a deep sauce pan.
- Meanwhile, prepare the batter. Mix flour, egg, milk, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Dip the chicken lollipop into the batter.
- Then, immediately dip it right into a bowl of Japanese bread crumbs.
- Gently drop the lollipop into hot oil and just let it deep fry until golden brown.
Come to think of it, chicken lollipops are just deep fried chicken wings all dolled up! Serve into a bowl for a quick, dirty snack. But since I am a Filipino, I silently ate this with rice and some sauce on the side.
