Which Part of Chicken is used for Lollipop?

Chicken Lollipop is made from both drumette and wingette or flat of a chicken wing.

Just in case you are wondering what's a drumette and a wingette, let me tell you this - that drumette is the fleshy part of the wing that's attached to the body of the chicken.

And a wingette is the middle portion of the chicken wing, the portion that looks flat.

A wingette is situated between the drumette & the tip of the chicken wing.

How to make Lollipop chicken drumsticks?

You can make lollipop chicken drumsticks from chicken drumsticks or legs (as the name suggests).

The same technique applies while carving the lollipops from chicken drumsticks, that is -

1. Cutting the meat or rather the skin & the tendons loose from the tapering end of the drumstick (not the fleshy end) - Just an inch below the knuckle of the chicken drumstick.
2. Removing the thin sharp bone.
3. And then pushing down the meat towards the bottom or the fleshy part of the drumsticks.
4. Cutting off any excess ligaments with a kitchen shear.
5. Rest of the recipe remains the same except the grill time. Drumsticks are fleshy so they require more time to get cooked. Adjust the time in your oven accordingly.

How do you cut Chicken wings and Drumettes?

This is how easily you can cut chicken wings and drumettes:

1. Take one whole chicken wing. With the help of your fingers locate the two joints in the chicken wing. It has only two joints, so you won't have any problem locating them at all.
2. With the help of a sharp kitchen knife or a kitchen sear either snip or cut the two joints individually.
3. This will leave you with three parts - Drumette (the thickest one), the wingetteor flat (remember this part looks flat) & the tip.
4. From one single chicken wing you will get one drumette & one wingette. Use these in your recipe.
5. Save the tip to make some home-made chicken broth.
