Ingredients

300g chicken breast part (diced)

2 slices of bread

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp soya sauce 

1/2 tsp salt 

1 tsp crushed pepper powder 

1 tsp red chili powder/ paprika powder 

1 tsp ginger garlic paste

1 tsp chicken stock powder/ half of soup cube

2 cups panko breadcrumbs 

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup all purpose flour

Oil for deep frying

Directions

1. Cut off all the fat of the chicken breast and wash the chicken and pat dry with kitchen towels. 
2. Cut the chicken in to small cubes and place in a food processor or grinder.
3. Add salt, pepper, red chilli powder/paprika powder, lemon juice, soya sauce, ginger garlic paste, stock powder. 
4. Pulse everything together for couple of minutes, scraping the sides in two intervals. Grind or process until the meat is thoroughly minced.
5. Then add the bread pieces. Process again until everything is mixed well! 
6. Now oil your hands or use a pair of disposable gloves. Knead the chicken mixture for a minute. Divide the mixture in to 10 equal balls. 
7. Then shape each ball to a popsicle and insert a popsicles stick. Repeat the same with the rest of chicken mixture. Freeze the prepared chicken popsicles for 30 minutes before coating. 
8. 
9. Now take them out of the freezer and coat first with all purpose flour, next beaten eggs and finally with panko breadcrumbs. 
10. 
11. Coat all the chicken popsicles and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but preferably an hour. It can also be in a well-sealed dish overnight.
12. Heat oil in a pan and when it’s hot, deep fry the chicken popsicles over medium heat. Turn heat to medium and fry 4-5 chicken popsicles at the same time. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-4 minutes on each side. I like turning mine a few more times until it gets a beautiful golden color.
13. Take it out on the kitchen paper towels so the excess oil can be absorbed.
14. Serve hot with your favourite sauce! Enjoy!
