Notes

You can bring the flavors of Spain to your mealtime, not only for mains, but also for snacks, starters, and appetizers. All it takes is a Spanish-inspired recipe like this one, straight from the southern region of Andalusia, and a delicious sauce to go with it. That’s where The Tapas Sauces is here to help, this time with our mouthwatering salsa sevillana.
This fried chicken lollipops recipe is found in the bars, cafes, and kitchens of Seville, the capital of Spain’s Andalus community. Bring it to your home and enjoy it at your next game day, movie night, or pool party, and make the taste buds of your guests dance the night away.

Hot to make chicken lollipops

The chicken lollipop cut is often referred to as a "frenched" chicken leg. The meat is cut loose from the small end and pressed down, creating a "lollipop" appearance. The "stick" part is made by leaving the leg bone clean. To make ordinary chicken legs into lollipops, you'll need a sharp knife and kitchen shears. The easiest way, however, is to ask your local butcher to cut the chicken in this way so you don’t have to. If you fancy giving it a try yourself, here’s what to do:
  1. Separate the tendons around the end of the meat. Cut in a circular manner around the bone rather than through it.
  2. Use a paring knife to push the meat towards the bone's knuckle end. 
  3. Then, remove the tendons and skin using a paring knife or kitchen shears.
  4. Hold the knuckle and draw the meat down to the base. You can feel a little bone with your fingertips. Wiggle it till it comes out.

What to serve with chicken lollipops

In Spain, chicken lollipops are most likely to be served as a tapas dish to accompany a drink in a traditional-style bar or cafe. If you’re looking to enjoy them as part of a larger meal, there are plenty of options to serve up, such as the following:
  • Salad
  • Rice
  • Fries
  • Potato wedges
  • Patatas bravas (Spain-style potato wedges)
  • Paella
  • Roasted vegetables
  • Sweet potato fries
  • Coleslaw

The best sauce for chicken lollipops

For something unique, delicious, and quintessentially Spanish, our chicken lollipops recipe suggests using salsa sevillana The Tapas Sauces. For those who aren’t familiar with this sauce, it’s a concoction of largely lemon, wine, and potato, that originates from the city of Seville and is often found in its traditional tapas bars. 
Nonetheless, there are plenty of alternative options to suit the preferences of all. See our sauces here and you’ll be sure to find an option that stands out as having that kick you’re looking for. All of our sauces have their own distinct flavors to offer.

Alternatives to chicken lollipops

You can follow the same recipe steps without chicken lollipops and instead opt for regular chicken wings. Furthermore, why not swap out the wings altogether for some chicken drumsticks? If you're looking for a vegetarian alternative to chicken wings, be sure to try cauliflower wings, which make a fantastic, meat-free, chicken wings substitute.
