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.

    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

      Unless they’ve done it differently tly from how I’ve always seen it, you literally just remove some of the meat on it
