Prepare chicken wings by cutting off the tips and pushing the meat down to form a lollipop shape.

Marinate chicken in a mixture of garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, chili powder, and lime juice for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Coat each chicken lollipop in cornstarch, shaking off excess.

Dip marinated chicken lollipops in beaten egg, then roll in bread crumbs to coat evenly.

Fry chicken lollipops in hot oil until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove chicken lollipops and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Garnish with chopped scallions and serve with dipping sauce.
