Chicken Lollipop Recipe

This Chicken Lollipops recipe uses chinese cheese, aka fermented red beancurd with a final touch of panko breading. This classic appetizer with a twist will be a welcomed guest to any party, I guarantee :)
Prep:10m Cook:10m Servings:3

Ingredients
5 chicken drumettes
1 tsp minced ginger
1 cube fermented red beancurd, mashed ( optional, all-purpose cajun seasoning is great too )
1 egg white
1 egg yolk
shaoxing wine ( OR other chinese cooking wine )
ground black pepper
salt and sugar to taste
cornflour
panko breadcrumbs

Directions
With a knife, pull and scrape the meat off the top to the bottom of the chicken drumette.
Marinate the chicken with minced ginger, mashed fermented red beancurd, egg white, black pepper, salt and sugar.
Set the chicken in the refrigerator and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
Dip the chicken drumettes into the cornflour, then dip them into the egg yolk wash, and continue the same with the breadcrumbs.
( TIP : Quick chill in the freezer while the oil is heating up on the frying wok, to prevent breadcrumbs from falling off into the oil while frying )
Deep fry the chicken drumettes on medium-high heat until golden brown.
