We are excited to introduce the brand new Teppanyaki Chicken Lollipops to several of our partner arenas, including American Airlines Center, Bridgestone Arena, and Time Warner Cable Arena. The early word is in, and these lollipops are a huge hit with our guests.
Even if you can’t make it out to a game to try this hot new dish, our chefs are pleased to share this recipe with you so you can whip up a batch in your own kitchen.
