Chicken Lollipop – Restaurant Style Chicken Lollipop

Tandoori Chicken lollipops are the lip smacking Indian Chicken Starter / Appetizer and mostly loved by kids as well as adults. 

The spicy and full of flavored pieces of Chicken on bone are coated in yogurt batter and deep fried or baked in oven. Tandoori Chicken Lollipops Recipe is a succulent treat that lives up to the name and no one can have just one.

Tandoori Chicken Lollipops Recipe is a very good luscious appetizer and can be made at home, you just need to get good chicken leg pieces.

 It is a very popular Chicken item in Indian Tandoori cuisine, served with Coriander chutney and lemon wedges.  Its marination is based on Tandoori Chicken.

In India, you can see several street vendors, serving lot of Chicken Varieties, such as Chicken Tikka, Chicken Seekh Kebab, Chicken Leg Curry and lots more. One of the the most famous selling dish is Tandoori Chicken Lollipops. These people have a unique art of making marination with yogurt and spices and we just can not beat with their taste. 

Secondly, they have tandoor (clay oven), which gives an ultimate taste and flavor to the dish, hence we can not expect the exact taste just like that.

If you do have clay oven, then you might get the taste just like those street vendors, but again here, there may be some difference in marination. Anyways, if you have interest in cooking, just like me and want to try different food at home, then keep cooking with different types of marination.
