Buffalo chicken wings are messy to eat with their bones and sticky sauce. Making the wings into lollipops makes them more delectable—and easier to eat—with these lollipops smothered in a sweet and sour filipino style sauce. Ingredients:
16 pieces chicken lollipops |
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
pinch of cayenne pepper |
1 cup cake flour (or all-purpose flour) |
canola oil for deep-frying |
1 cup prepared guava barbecue sauce (recipe below) |
black and white toasted sesame seeds, for garnish |
for the guava barbecue sauce |
2/3 cup soy sauce |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 cup banana ketchup (or regular ketchup) |
2 tablespoons calamansi juice (or lemon or lime) |
1/2 cup guava jam |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1 tablespoon hot sauce |
Directions:
1. Using kitchen shears or a knife, separate the wings at the joint. Reserve the drumette, saving the wing for homemade chicken stock, if desired. Stand a drumette on its wide end and, holding the narrow bone at the top, use a paring knife to push and scrape the skin and meat downward to expose the bone and make a plump lollipop of chicken at the bottom. Repeat with the remaining drumettes.
2. Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper, then rub into the chicken lollipops. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
3. Place the flour on a plate and dredge the lollipops. Pat off any excess.
4. Preheat the oil then deep-fry chicken lollipops for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
5. Make the guava barbecue sauce: Blend all the ingredients and simmer the sauce for 2 minutes.
6. Place the barbecue sauce in a bowl and toss in the hot chicken lollipops until well-coated. Serve with a garnish of sesame seeds.
7. Sauce-storing tip: You can use the glaze for other meats or as barbecue sauce. The sauce should be good for five days when kept in an airtight container.
