Preparation
Video: How to Lollipop a chicken drumstick
- Where most of the meat ends, separate the tendons. In a circular motion, cut around the bone without cutting through it.
- With a paring knife, push the meat toward the knuckle end of the bone. Then cut the tendons and skin off with the paring knife or kitchen shears.
- Hold the knuckle and pull the meat down toward the base of the drumstick. There is a small bone that you can feel with your fingers. Wiggle it around until it pops out.
Dry rub, Grilling and Basting the Chicken Lollipops
- Mix dry rub ingredients and rub into the skin of each drumstick.
- Meanwhile, mix the ingredients of the mopping sauce. Heat grill to medium heat, and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Grill chicken drumsticks until internal temperature reaches 170°F, about 30 minutes, turning as needed to crisp the skin. Start to mop with the glaze after 20 minutes.

So excited to try this recipe..B&E is the only chicken I buy
I made the recipe and it tastes delicious. However I didn’t “lollipop” the chicken as I find it difficult so I just cut off a little at the ends so that they can stand up to cook. Also baked instead of grilled.
