How to make Panko Chicken Lollipops
Heat the oil for deep frying.
Prepare three bowls: one with whisked eggs, one with flour, and one with panko crumbs.
Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Mix well, then take about three strips and roll them into a ball.
Dip each chicken ball first into the flour, then into the whisked eggs, and finally into the panko crumbs.
When the oil is hot, deep fry the coated chicken balls in batches until golden brown. Ensure they are cooked through.
Once done, insert a short bamboo skewer into each ball to form a 'lollipop'.
Mix all the lemon mayo dip ingredients together and serve in a bowl as a dipping sauce for the chicken lollipops.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
You can use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for consistent frying.
