A "lollipop chicken drum" typically refers to a chicken drumette or wing that has been trimmed and shaped to resemble a lollipop. The process involves pushing the meat down to the top of the bone, creating a rounded, lollipop-like appearance. The exposed bone serves as a handle, making it easier to eat. The skin and meat are usually pulled down, leaving the bone clean and exposed.
After this preparation, lollipop chicken drums are often seasoned, marinated, or coated with various sauces before being cooked. They can be baked, grilled, or fried until they reach a crispy and flavorful texture. This presentation is not only visually appealing but also practical for serving as an appetizer or finger food at parties and events.
Ingredients
-
6 chicken drumsticks
-
1/4 cup of Beer Glaze BBQ Sauce
-
1/4 cup of Beer Glaze BBQ Sauce (for basting)
Directions
Using a sharp knife and a pair of kitchen scissors cut all of the way around and through the skin and tendon of the leg just below the knuckle. Push the meat down so it all bunches on one end of the bone. Remove any left over skin and cartilage left on the knuckle. Also remove as any tiny bones that may have been been cut away against the bone with your fingers or kitchen scissors.
Put prepared chicken legs in a bowl and pour 1/4 cup of beer glaze bbq sauce over them. Toss chicken legs in the sauce until they are all covered and let sit for one hour.
Pre-heat oven or grill to 400F
Arrange chicken on a grilling pan (or directly on the grill if you are grilling them) and put them in the oven and let them cook for 40 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F degrees. Turn and baste chicken drums with the barbecue sauce every 5 minutes with the sauce after the first 20 minutes to add more coating of the sauce to the drums.
Remove from oven or grill and serve with blue cheese dressing (or ranch dressing) and carrot chips.
