      CHICKEN LOLLIPOPS

      1. Step 1: To prepare the chicken wings, cut off the wing tips and discard. For the drumette (the part closest to the breast), scrape the meat, pushing it to one end to create a lollipop shape with a clean bone and a nugget of meat. For the flat, remove the smaller of the two bones, then scrape the meat around the remaining bone, pushing it to one end to form a lollipop shape.
      2. Step 2: Place the chicken wings in a bowl. Add the ginger, soy sauce, chilli powder, egg, and flour, then mix well.
      3. Step 3: Heat the oil to 160°C (320°F) and carefully lower the chicken wings in, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Turn every 2-3 minutes, cooking for a total of 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the wings. Remove from the oil and place on a tray with a rack to drain excess oil.
      4. Step 4: Serve with tamarind dipping sauce and garnish with coriander.

      TAMARIND DIPPING SAUCE

      1. Step 1: Place all ingredients in a small pot and bring to a light simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes. The sauce is now ready to serve.
