We know how kids love finger foods, especially out of the ordinary foods like chicken lollipops. We also know that most kids do not like eating vegetables. Our solution is to use the carrot and stick approach. Never mind those studies that tell you it is the wrong approach, because ours is a totally different method. In our method, the stick is what is desirable and the carrot is the one that is being avoided. What is more, the carrot is in the stick!
It is a great appetizer for kids of all ages and our “kids” loved these lollipops. Use your creativity to adjust the recipe to your own taste by adding more spices, marinating the chicken lollipops before stuffing them, using different types of breadcrumbs, removing the skin (will make stuffing difficult), baking the lollipops instead of deep frying, etc…
1- Use a very sharp paring knife. If you are bored and have nothing else to do, try cutting the tendons with a dull knife.
2- You can buy chicken wings that have been split, but it is cheaper to buy whole wings.
3- It is much easier to make lollipops out of drumettes (1 bone) rather than wingettes¹ (2 bones). However, the wingettes give you a better meat pocket and we believe they taste better than the drumettes.
¹ Wingette: the part of the chicken wing that is in between the drumette and the wing tip (see photo below)

Wingette lollipops Washing the chicken Wash the chicken with the vinegar.
Drain.
Wash with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Ready for stuffing Preparing the stuffing Grate the cheddar cheese.
Combine the grated cheese, mashed potatoes and mashed carrots in a bowl.
Add the salt and black pepper. Mix well.
Adding the olives to the stuffing Olives.
Pit the olives, then chop.
Add to the stuffing mixture and mix well.
Stuffing the chicken Using your fingers, open the meat pocket.
Fill with 1 teaspoon of the stuffing.
Gently close the pocket using your fingertips. Do not worry, the batter and breadcrumb coating will help keep the filling in place.
Preparing the chicken lollipops Combine the flour, egg, salt, and ice-cold water.
Whisk well.
Measure 1 cup of plain breadcrumbs.
Prepare your dipping station (batter & breadcrumbs).
Dip the stuffed chicken in the batter.
Roll in the breadcrumbs, making sure it is coated well.
Fry in canola oil (or any other flavourless oil) at 338°F/170°C for 5 minutes. Use medium heat on the stovetop if not using a deep fryer. If the oil is too hot, the chicken will brown very quickly before it is cooked through. You could also bake the lollipops in a preheated oven at 350°F/177°C for 20 to 25 minutes, turning them over halfway through.
Drain on paper towels.
Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, honey, mustard, and lemon juice. Serve the chicken lollipops while still warm.
