Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the salt, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, green chiles, chili powder, and red food coloring until the mixture is uniformly colored. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
2 hrs

On each chicken wing, push the meat down towards one end to create a 'lollipop' shape. Add the wings to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor. (Marinating time: 30 minutes - 2 hours)

03

Step
15 mins

Heat the canola oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (Heating time: 10-15 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Remove the wings from the marinade, shaking off any excess. In the same bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining marinade to create a batter. Dip each wing into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. (Coating time: 5-10 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Carefully lower the wings into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are cooked through and beautifully crispy, approximately 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer the cooked wings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Frying time: 10 minutes per batch)

For extra crispy lollipops, double-dip them in the cornstarch batter.
Adjust the amount of green chile peppers and chili powder to suit your spice preference.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing.
