MY SAUCES, RUBS AND MERCH: patio-provisio...
I could eat a Bacon Wrapped Chicken Lollipop for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I’d be happy! Juicy, perfectly tender chicken drumsticks are liberally seasoned with a homemade BBQ rub, wrapped in bacon, and slow grilled for maximum flavor and the best texture I’ve ever had in a drumstick.

Ingredients:
6 chicken drumsticks
2 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey’s Sweet BBQ Rub (link in recipe notes)
6 strips bacon
1/2 cup Whiskey Peach BBQ sauce (link in recipe notes)
Instructions:
1- Preheat your grill or smoker for indirect cooking at 250 degrees F.
2- Prepare your drumsticks by using a sharp knife to cut off the end of the drumstick leg, just under the bone joint. Press the meat down, away from the end of the exposed bone so the bone forms a handle for the lollipop.
3- Season the chicken meat on all sides with the sweet rub. Wrap each drumstick in a piece of bacon and either tuck the ends of the bacon or secure with a toothpick. Wrap the exposed bones tightly with a strip of aluminum foil.
4- Place the chicken lollipops on the grill and cook until they reach an internal temperature (not touching the bone with the thermometer) of 135 degrees F. At this point, increase the heat in your grill to 375 degrees F to crisp the bacon.
5-Close the lid and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Brush the lollipops on all sides of the meat with BBQ sauce. Close the lid and continue cooking until you reach an internal temperature of 185 degrees F.
6- Remove the lollipops to a serving platter or cutting board and allow to rest for 10 minutes before removing the foil from the bones and serving.
