Which chicken lollipop variation tosses fried lollipops in a sweet and spicy sauce?

The chicken lollipop variation that tosses fried lollipops in a sweet and spicy sauce is called Drums of Heaven.

Drums of Heaven is an Indo-Chinese restaurant preparation built from chicken lollipops: frenched winglets or similar wing sections are marinated, battered, and fried until crisp. The fried pieces are then coated or tossed in a glossy sauce that combines sweetness with heat. Depending on the restaurant, that sauce may include chili, garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, or Schezwan-style seasonings.

The name refers to the shape of the chicken, which looks like a miniature drum or drumstick with a convenient exposed-bone handle. “Dragon chicken” is another label that may appear on menus, but it is not the answer to this particular variation question. Menu terminology can vary, so the exact sauce and level of heat are not completely standardized.

Drums of Heaven is commonly served as a starter or appetizer alongside Indo-Chinese dishes such as fried rice and Hakka noodles. The key distinction is the saucing step: plain chicken lollipop is fried, while this named variation is tossed in a sweet-spicy coating.
