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.
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
