Chicken Lollipop!

     Chicken lollipop is one of my personal favorite. Very easy to make and really taste good. Some people serve this as an appetizer but as for me it should always be paired with rice, lots of rice! The only tricky part of this dish is how to prepare the chicken wings. So I have posted a video that you can follow, because sometimes videos are easier to understand than visualizing what someone is saying. So a little info about the video, just cut the chicken wings through its joints making 3 parts, you can discard the wing tip or use it for chicken stock. Glide your sharp knife around the top of the bone and scrape the meat down to the end, if your strong enough you can just push the meat down, creating a lollipop like wing. The other part has 2 bones, same thing as the other wing make an incision on the top and locate the smaller bone, you can just easily pop it out. Hope this procedure wont confuse you, but as I was saying refer to the video. 

     The thing about cooking is to enjoy what you're doing and always cook with your heart!
