Lollipop Chicken Legs

Haven’t made these in a few years, but if you have kids, or just love smoked chicken, give them a try. Plenty of YouTube videos out there for more details.
Cut the tendon around the bone at the base and peel everything back over the knuckle. Push the meat down into a ball. You may have to trim/even up the bottom for them to stand. Season and smoke to about 165. Hit them with a coat of bbq sauce and keep cooking until it sets, maybe 15-20 min. Easy peasy.

I thought I had been everywhere and seen everything but this is a new one for me. Would

Those look great, think I might make some this weekend.

Thanks,
Here’s a good video to follow. He lets the sauce set for 30 min I believe, but that seems a little lengthy to me.

Oh, and you can try wrapping them in bacon.. because, well, it’s bacon

Thanks, I haven't made them in years.

Looks and sounds good

I've done the legs before wrapped in bacon with bbq sauce and they've turned out amazing.

Didn’t lollipop them though.

Those look really good..............But , I`m not a fan of drumsticks.

Pro status!

Ha appreciate that, but far far from pro. I'm definitely going to do some more of these this weekend and lollipop them like yours.

One of my old favorites, will have to put them back on the board!

Looks great. I was recently thinking about doing lollipop chicken too.

Mmmmmm

What grill did you cook these on Kyle? They look awesome!

That was on my Pitboss Pellet Smoker/grill. I smoke them I smoke them at 250 for a while to get the flavor up then turn it up to 350 to finish them off and let the sauce set and crisp up the bacon.

Never heard of such a thing but we're trying it over the weekend. Thanks, guys!

post a pic of your masterpiece

Looks great! Drumsticks are my favorite part of the bird besides the liver, cooking some this weekend.
