Crispy Chicken Wing Lollipops
Description
This recipe transforms regular chicken wings into lollipops by carefully cutting between bones and pushing the meat to one edge for a neat presentation. The seasoned wings are coated with a homemade mix of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, and smoked paprika. Cooking in an air fryer at 400°F crisps the skin without added oil, taking approximately 20 minutes with a halfway toss to ensure even crisping.
The result is a crispy, flavorful wing with seasoned meat concentrated around the bone end, convenient for eating without utensils. The smoky and savory seasoning blend adds depth to the natural richness of the chicken. Serving with preferred wing sauces and fresh vegetable sticks balances the texture and adds freshness.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken wings
Chicken Wing Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Accompaniments
- wing sauce of choice
- vegetable sticks sliced
- Dipping Sauce of choice
Instructions
- For wings, on both sides cut between the two bones to separate them. Then slice the meat on each end to loosen the meat from the bone. Locate the skinny bone and carefully pull out the bone while holding the second bone firmly to keep the meat attached. Scrape meat on the remaining bone downwards away from your hand to form the lollipop.
- For drums, cut around the end of the bone to loosen the meat from the bone. Firmly hold the bone and with a knife carefully scrape the meat downwards away from your hand to form the lollipop.
- Combine all seasoning ingredients together.
- In a bowl, toss and rub the seasoning onto the wings.
- Preheat Air Fryer to 400°F
- Add the wings to the Air Fryer. The wings can be fairly close together as they will shrink while cooking. You do not need to add oil or cooking spray as the wings will give off oil wile cooking. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, or until the wings are crispy and cooked through.
- Toss with your favorite wing sauce. Serve with sliced vegetable sticks and your favorite dipping sauce.
