Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.
Collect fresh water in a cast iron pot and place it over a campfire. Once the water is boiling, add the chicken drumsticks (after scoring them with a knife) and boil until fully cooked, about . Remove the cooked chicken from the pot.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly in the stream. Cut them into halves or quarters and add them to the same boiling water. Cook until tender, about . Cover the pot while cooking.
Once the chicken drumsticks are cooked, carefully remove the meat from the bones, leaving the bone intact to serve as the 'lollipop stick'. Finely chop the chicken meat and transfer it to a wooden bowl.
Take the boiled potatoes and mash them using a potato ricer, adding the mashed potatoes to the bowl with the chopped chicken. Add shredded cheese, paprika, cumin powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly by hand until a cohesive dough-like consistency is formed.
Take a portion of the chicken and potato mixture, flatten it in your hand. Place a small cube of butter in the center, then wrap the mixture around one of the reserved chicken bones, forming a drumstick or lollipop shape. Repeat for all drumsticks.
Prepare an egg wash in one tray and breadcrumbs in another. Dip each formed chicken lollipop first into the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs until completely covered. Heat cooking oil in the cast iron pot over the campfire. Deep-fry the breaded chicken lollipops until they are golden brown and crispy, about per batch.
Finely chop fresh dill and place it in a small wooden bowl. Add ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, and chili flakes to the dill. Mix all ingredients well until a smooth, tangy, and spicy dipping sauce is formed.
Arrange the fried chicken lollipops on a serving plate with the dipping sauce in the center. Enjoy the cheesy, crispy chicken lollipops by dipping them in the sauce.
