Stir-Fry the Sauce
Combine and Serve
Replace the chicken with cauliflower florets (like Gobi Manchurian) or cubes of paneer. Adjust frying time accordingly.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of Schezwan sauce along with the other sauces for an extra layer of heat and flavor.
Instead of deep-frying, bake or air-fry the battered chicken. Spray with a little oil and cook at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through. Then toss in the sauce.

Ingredients like ginger, garlic, and chili peppers contain powerful compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help support a healthy immune system.

A serving of three pieces of Drums of Heaven contains approximately 450-550 calories, primarily from the deep-fried chicken and the sweet and savory sauces.
Drums of Heaven is an indulgent appetizer that is high in calories, fat, and sodium due to the deep-frying process and sauces. It is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Yes, you can omit the egg from the batter. You may need to add an extra tablespoon or two of water to achieve the right consistency. The coating will be slightly less rich but still crispy.
For the best results, reheat Drums of Heaven in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes or in a preheated oven. This will help restore some of the original crispiness. Avoid using a microwave, as it will make the coating soggy.
You can fry the chicken lollipops ahead of time (single or double-fried) and store them at room temperature. Just before serving, prepare the sauce, heat it up, and toss the pre-fried chicken in it.
