Chicken Lollipops with Peanut Butter: Inspired by a Dancing Banana

“It’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Peanut Butter Jelly Time!”

If that doesn’t ring a bell, then poor you. Since I don’t want to alienate you, I’ll let you in on the joke by sharing this 22-million-view video. If you think you have better things to do than spend a minute and 46 seconds to watch it, then maybe this profound gif might suffice.

 

But here’s a dish you seriously shouldn’t miss: Peanut Butter Jelly…Chicken Lollipops! Did I type that right? Oh yes I did. It’s another one of those weird savory-sweet recipes that are sure to bring the party right inside your mouth! (Figuratively, of course.)

Peanut Butter & Jelly has been a timeless tandem that has satisfied most sweet teeth. And since we like to play with our food because we are crazy (and slightly juvenile), we slathered some of this awesome stuff on a couple of chicken lollipops. After taking a bite, we were transported to Peanut Butter Jelly Heaven where Mr. Banana now resides.

So, dear Mr. Banana, this recipe is our tribute to you. May your spirit live on in these Chicken Lollipops and touch as many lives as your crazy Internet dance did.

    I was wondering can I substitute the peanut butter with tahini? How do you make the chicken lollipops looking like lollipops?? I could never make it clean and pretty :-(

      You actually can. And it’ll taste good as well, especially if you love tahini. :) just follow the procedure we’ve included. After dipping the chicken in batter, dredge in breadcrumbs and gently form it into a ball – fill you hand with breadcrumbs and try to form it with your hands. (the batter helps in forming it into a ball by filling up the spaces in betweek the chicken meat and skin. it acts as glue)
