Ingredients
Chicken Lollipops - This is usually the leg piece of the chicken. The chicken is loosened and pulled towards one end and it resembles the shape of the lollipop. Hence the name. I bought ready chicken lollipop pieces. You can use readymade ones or make them at home itself.
Spice Powders - I am using Kashmiri red chili powder, for the bright red color and then black pepper powder.
Ginger garlic paste - gives a yummy flavor to the chicken.
Sauce - We use Soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and tomato sauce.
All-purpose flour, cornflour - This helps the sauces to coat the chicken. We add them only in a small quantity for binding.
