Chicken Lollipops

Ingredients

Marinade:
12 – 24 Chicken Wing Drumettes
22oz. Beer (I used Budwieser)
1 cup of Canola Oil
¼ cup yellow onion, diced
¼ cup of white sugar
1Tbsp salt
1Tbsp ground black pepper
1Tbsp Italian Seasoning
1Tbsp dry mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced

12-24 Strips Bacon
wooden toothpicks, no color

Chicken Seasoning
BBQ Sauce
Jalapeno Grill

Directions:

French-cut the chicken wing drumettes by cutting the skin around the bottom of the drumette.

Push the chicken meat up into a ball making it into a “lollipop”.

Wrap the ball of chicken meat with a strip of bacon. Secure the bacon with a toothpick.

Mix the marinade ingredients together.

Place lollipops in a 1 or 2 gallon freezer bag meat side down. Marinate for 3 to 5 hours in the refrigerator.

Fire up your grill to 350 degrees. Add a chunk of apple wood the size of your fist to the charcoal for flavor.

Remove lollipops from marinade and pat dry.

Season the lollipops with chicken season. Place the lollipops on the Jalapeno Grill.

Place the Jalapeno Grill onto your grill. Close the lid on your grill and cook for about an hour.

When the bacon is crisp and the juices from the lollipops run clear they are done (around 165 internally).

Serve with a side of your favorite BBQ Sauce in a bowl for dipping.
