Instructions
Step 1
Combine soy sauce, garlic, chiles, ginger, and 2 tbsp. water in a food processor, and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in flour, cornstarch, paprika, food coloring (if you like), egg, and salt; add chicken lollipops, and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for 4 hours.
Step 2
Pour oil to a depth of 2" in a 6-qt. Dutch oven, and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°. Working in batches, fry chicken lollipops until golden brown and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain briefly before serving. Serve with chutney for dipping.
