step by step

Method

  1. Prepare the chicken lollipops

    • Cut the skin and tendons around the narrow end of each drumstick.
    • Push the meat down towards the thick end so the bone is exposed and the meat forms a lollipop shape.
    Step 1
  2. Season the chicken

    • In a bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt and black pepper.
    • Coat the drumsticks evenly with the seasoning mix.
    Step 2
  3. Grill the chicken

    • Place the lollipops on a hot grill.
    • Cook, turning regularly, until the meat is cooked through and nicely charred.
    Step 3
  4. Glaze with BBQ sauce

    • Brush the lollipops generously with BBQ sauce on all sides.
    • Let them caramelise a couple of minutes on each side, brushing again for a sticky coating.
    Step 4
  5. Serve

    • Take the lollipops off the grill and let them rest briefly.
    • Serve hot, with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
