Print Recipe
Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- Grill (Broiler) - Optional
Ingredients
- 1 kg Chicken drumsticks
- 220 g Streaky bacon 1-2 rashers per drumstick
- 600 g BBQ sauce of your choice. Approx 500ml.
- 3 tbsp Worcesteshire sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1.5 tbsp Paprika
- 0.5 tbsp Garlic granules
Instructions
- Cut the chicken drumsticks into ‘lollipops’. Find where the meaty section ends and cut in a circular motion around the bone. Cut any tendons and scrape away any skin on the end of the bone, pushing the meaty section down the other way. Remove all skin from the meaty section as well.
- Mix brown sugar, paprika and garlic powder to make a spice rub. Coat the prepared chicken lollipops in this rub.
- Wrap the lollipops tightly with 1-2 rashers of streaky bacon.
- Mix BBQ sauce and Worcestershire sauce, and dunk each prepared lollipop in the sauce.
- Repeat the process and place all of your finished lollipops in the slow cooker. Pour in any remaining sauce.
- Cook for 3-4 hours on high, or 7-8 hours on low.
- Carefully remove the lollipops and finish under the grill (broiler) or on a BBQ for 5-10 minutes until the bacon is golden and crispy.
