Remove the skin from the drumsticks. 2. Cut around the narrow end of each drumstick and push the meat downward to create a clean bone. 3. Securely shape the meat around the exposed bone, forming a “lollipop.” 4. Trim away any loose tendons or cartilage for a cleaner presentation. Prepare the Chicken Coat the drumsticks with oil and seasonings. Allow them to marinate for 20–30 minutes, or overnight for better flavor. Wrap the Bacon Mix together: Sugar-free maple syrup Dijon mustard Smoked paprika Cinnamon Brush the turkey bacon lightly with the mixture. Wrap one slice of bacon around each chicken lollipop and secure with a toothpick if needed. Cooking Options Oven Preheat to 400°F (205°C). Place chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until cooked through. Air Fryer Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 22–25 minutes, turning halfway. Grill Cook over medium heat for 30–35 minutes, turning every few minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Glaze Combine the BBQ glaze ingredients. During the final 6–10 minutes of cooking, brush the glaze generously over the chicken. Brush with another layer during the last 3–4 minutes to caramelize the glaze without burning it.
