I made smoked chicken lollipops today. They are a bit of effort but so worth it. Quickly they have become a family favourite. Thinking doing these up with turkey drumsticks would be very fun.
i don’t know about this, man.

Good lord
Thanks, I hate it.
Sorry, are these fancy lollipops dressed up to look like chicken or actual smoked chicken in the shape of a lollipop?
If they are actual smoked chicken, how?
They look great either way haha
It is a chicken drumstick, you cut and peel the skin/tendons from the drumstick where it starts to narrow. It is a bit of work doing that bit, then you simply push the meat down into a ball. I then seasoned it, smoked it, when they were done smoking I filled a coffee cup with BBQ sauce and dipped the meat into it and caramelized it on the BBQ.YouTube link This is where I saw them done. Seen a version where there were deep fried, going to give that a try sometime

Cool, that's fantastic. Looks like a presentation worth trying, thanks for sharing!
You cut the meat away from the bone on one side and shove it down before cooking. If it’s a wing, you take out the smaller bone as well. https://www.atablefullofjoy.com/chicken-lollipop/
Unless they've done it differently tly from how I've always seen it, you literally just remove some of the meat on it
ATBGE but it actually tastes good (I assume).
Very good, plus making them into lollipops you remove a bunch of the tendons so eating them is more pleasant.
Is this mostly for presentation or does it change the flavor in some way?
Presentation… but it also gets the extra bone and the tendons out of the way. Makes it fun and easy to eat
For those who said this is a wasteful recipe... that is the skin and tendons removed. It's not much really and no meat is removed.
Glazed chicken meatball molded on a stripped drumstick?
I can see cutting all the tendons and smashing the meat down into a ball, and then using the leftover skin to cover it up.
Our cat and dog loved the unused bits!
These look great! Did you wrap the bone in tinfoil?
No, just a Sunday cook for the family and I don't know seeing the bone as bone white... Seems like that might be a bit weird haha
