If there’s one thing that most of us enjoy a regular basis, it is chicken. It seems to find its way onto our menu every week at least one time and in some cases, we may find that we’re eating chicken multiple times per week. Quite honestly, there are times when it can get a little bit boring and that is where this unique recipe comes in.
If you love having chicken but you want to have something a little bit different, these hot sweet chicken lollipops are perfect. They’re relatively simple to make and you are not going to believe how much of a difference it makes when you have something just a little bit unique on your plate.
Ingredients
2 pounds chicken drumsticks
4 tablespoons Maple/Bacon BBQ rub
4 tablespoons Chipotle BBQ rub
Canola oil
For the Glaze
½ cup Sriracha Sauce
½ cup Sweet Baby Ray Hickory & Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce
Directions
In a small bowl mix the Sriracha and BBQ sauce and set aside.
Cut around the thin end bone tip of each chicken drumstick.
Separate the skin and tendons attached to the narrow end of the drumstick and push the meat down toward the thick end. You now have a “lollipop.” Repeat procedure for the rest of the drumsticks.
Generously sprinkle the drumsticks with Maple/Bacon BBQ Rub and Chipotle Rub.
Preheat your oven to 375F.
Roast chicken for 40 minutes, turning often until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
Glaze the chicken.
Roast for an additional 10 – 15 minutes to set the sauce.
Remove from oven and serve.
