Ingredients

Chicken Lollipop Ingredients

8 Chicken drumsticks
3 tbsp All purpose seasoning

Bourbon Sauce Ingredients

1 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup Dark brown sugar
1/2 cup Bourbon
2 tbsp Yellow mustard
2 tbsp Sriracha
2 tbsp White wine vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp BBQ seasoning

Instructions

Trim the chicken drumsticks to form a lollipop effect. Do so by cutting along the bottom of the meaty part and pulling the skin down towards the joint. Remove any access meat from the bone area.
Season trimmed chicken lollipops with all purpose BBQ seasoning.
Once the grill is heated up to 375 degrees, place the seasoned chicken lollipops directly on the grate and cook for 30 - 45 minutes.
In a saucepan add ketchup, yellow mustard, sriracha, white wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, dark brown sugar, BBQ seasoning and bourbon.
Simmer the condiments over low heat, whisking occasionally until the mixture thickens.
Once the chicken reaches 165 degrees internally, dunk the chicken lollipops into the bourbon sauce. Continue grilling until the sauce starts to caramelize, approximately 2-3 more minutes.
