First, take the drumettes/wings and wash them well. Remove the skin from all the pieces. This is optional, if you want the skin intact, you can do that.
Next, carefully scrape from the end which has less meat, and take your knife down steadily and gently.
French the chicken drumettes/wings and give them a proper shape.

Now, you need to prepare the buttermilk.
For that, take some curd, salt to taste, and water. Whisk or blend it until you get a smooth mixture. Make sure not to put too much water and maintain a certain consistency.

In an air-tight container or a container with a lid, transfer the buttermilk and put in the frenched drumettes/wings.
Coat them and then put them in the refrigerator for around 4-5 hours. This step is very important.
After that, take them out and strain the excess buttermilk.

To the drumettes/ wings add the ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, and black pepper powder, and combine them really well.
Keep them aside for around 30 minutes so that the flavors seep in well.

Next, in a bowl take some corn flour and salt. Mix it well and then add the drumettes/wings to it.
Give them a nice shape with your palm and fingers by pressing gently.

Now, add oil in a deep-frying pan/kadhai and heat it until the oil smokes lightly.
Put the coated drumettes/wings in the oil one by one. Keep the flame on medium for better cooking.
Do not hurry the frying process. When the chicken lollipops turn golden brown, take them out of the oil and place them on a paper towel.
Continue frying all the other lollipops.
When all are done, start with the sauce preparation.

For the sauce, take another frying pan and heat some oil. You can use butter as well.
Now, to the heated oil, put in the chopped ginger and garlic.
Fry them well until you get an amazing fragrance and then add in the finely chopped onions.
Sauté all together and cook the onions until translucent.
Next, add the red chili paste, a bit of red chili powder, and some water.
Combine and cook everything well for around 3 minutes.
To the mix, put the vinegar, soy sauce, salt to taste, and sugar.
Cook everything for around 2 minutes. Add a splash of water if you feel that the sauce is drying up.
When it comes to a desired consistency, take a taste.

When you are satisfied with the flavours add the hot fried chicken lollipops in the sauce.
Toss the lollipops gently in the spicy, sour, sweet sticky sauce.
After everything gets coated with the delicious sauce transfer the chicken lollipops onto a plate.

Next, wrap the thin edges with aluminum foil. This is for a good appearance. You can skip it if you do not want to.
When done, garnish the lollipops with the chopped coriander leaves and chopped spring onions (optional).
