Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

If using whole wings, trim and push the meat down toward one end of the bone to create a “lollipop” shape.
Pat dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Coat each chicken piece evenly in the flour mixture.
Shake off excess.

3. Fry

Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry chicken in batches for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove and drain on paper towels.

(Internal temperature should reach 165°F / 75°C.)

4. Make the Buffalo Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
Add hot sauce, honey, and garlic powder.
Stir until smooth and slightly thickened.

5. Coat the Chicken

Place fried chicken lollipops in a large bowl.
Pour warm buffalo sauce over them and toss gently until fully coated.

To Serve

Arrange on a plate.
Sprinkle with fresh chives.
Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and carrot sticks.
