Chicken Fry With Lollipop Base(Sauce)/Chicken Starter

 

In this post, I’m going to share the second recipe, Chicken Fry With Lollipop Base which I mentioned in the previous post that I prepared Three Recipes with 1.2 KG Chicken.

One of those is Butter Chicken/Easy Butter Chicken

In general, the Chicken lollipops are made with the drumsticks or the wing/thigh part of the chicken dipped in cornflour batter with spices (Chilly powder, turmeric, salt, etc.) and deep fried.

These are served as it is with mint chutney as Indian version or tossed in a sauce which will be so juicy yum…. as an Indo-Chinese Version.

Here I’m not using any drumsticks or bony pieces in this recipe. This is just made with cubed breast pieces which are just shallow fried and tossed in the sauce.

You must be thinking that “No Deep frying!!! but lollipop base, HOW? ” To know this let’s jump into the recipe.
