extra virgin olive oil

poultry rub

Kansas City BBQ Sauce

Sriracha ((or your favorite hot sauce))

honey

lime

Combine Ingredients

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat.

Simmer

Simmer for 10 minutes stirring to incorporate.

Glaze

Cut Around Bone

Make a cut around the end of the chicken drumstick in a full circle around the bone. It’s important to cut all the way down and get through cartilage.

Remove Skin

Using a paper towel pull back on the meat and skin on the end of the bone. Pull hard to remove all the skin so only the bone is exposed. Make sure you have plenty of paper towels on hand.

Remove Joint Cartilage At Angle

There is likely cartilage that remains from the joint on the meat end of the drumstick, remove that at an angle so it can stand up.

Make Lollipop Shape

Using a boning knife, cut the strings of tendon that are showing from the frenching. And then push the meat down the drumstick and form a rough ball or the lollipop shape.

Pull Skin Back Down

The last step is to pull the skin back down and cover the lollipop.

Prepare Chicken Lollipops

Prepare Grill

Prepare grill for Two-Zone cooking using lump charcoal. Target 375 degrees over the direct heat.

Season Chicken

Apply olive oil to the chicken and then liberally season them with the poultry rub.

Grill Direct

Place the chicken over the direct heat with the meat side down and bone facing up. Grill over the direct heat until the internal temperature reaches 150 – 155 degrees F.

Glaze and Move to Indirect

At this point, dunk the chicken into the glaze and move to indirect heat. Continue grilling on indirect heat until the internal temperature of the chicken lollipops reaches 170 degrees F.

Finish

Remove from the grill and glaze one more time. Let rest for 10 minutes and serve.
