Ingredients
-
Sweet Heat Rub by The Spice Guy
-
Dixie Red Rich & Smokey BBQ Sauce by Old Southern BBQ
-
Lane’s “Southbound” Sauce (Carolina Mustard)
-
12 Chicken Drumsticks
-
1/2 Stick Butter
Directions
Prepare the chicken: Using sharp scissors, cut away from the end of the drum, up the bone about 3 inches. Push up the meat and remove any hanging tendons or skin. This might take a minute to get used to, but once you practice on a couple of the drumsticks, you will have this mastered! Season with Sweet Heat Rub by The Spice Guy using Dixie Red Rich & Smokey BBQ Sauce by Old Southern BBQ as a binder.
Preheat your smoker to 275 °F using cherry, hickory or applewood blend pellets, chunks or charcoal.
Smoke the chicken lollipops for 2 hours. Then increase the temperature of the grill to 325 °F.
Prepare the glaze: in a grill safe saucepan add ¼ cup Southbound Sauce by Lane’s BBQ, 1 tsp Sweet Heat Rub by The Spice Guy ½ stick butter. Smoke simultaneously with the chicken.
Once the chicken reaches 165 °F internal temperature, dip into the glaze and place back on the grill or smoker for 15 minutes or until the glaze has set. Be careful, these are addicting!
Recipe Note
Pro Tips: Prep the chicken into the “lollipop” form the day before and marinate for maximum flavor and easy preparation the next day.
