Can you make a chicken lollipop using chicken legs or drumsticks?  I don't agree with them at all. That is not the real chicken lollipop.

2. The middle part is called Wingettes which has two thin bones that runs parallel to each other and covered with skin.

3. Last comes the wings tips -- those tiny, pointy pieces shaped like a feather at the end.
