Lollipop Chicken Legs

[DuaneMac]

Haven’t posted any food pics in a while and being as these are something I’ve never done, I thought why not. The wife doesn’t particularly care for legs due to the tendons, veins etc. so I thought if I cleaned them up a bit it might help. It took a bit to prep them but it was worth it, she loved them. Nothing fancy about the cook just seasoned the chicken with SPOG then wrapped with bacon and glazed with BBQ sauce near the end. Cooked indirect on the Performer for an hour, served with potatoes au gratin and a salad. I’ll definitely be making these again.

And bacon for the win, Great looking Lollipops.

WOW!

Any tutorial on how to prep the legs like that?

I have some finicky eaters here and that presentation will turn them into leg lovers!

Here’s a couple, there are tons out there.

I removed the tendons as well as seen in this video.

For a first time those look excellent!
I think the first time I tried doing them was after watching the " Frug " doing some on PBS channel 11.
Have you ever tried butterflying them?

I haven’t but I’ve seen them and have always thought that was a great idea. I’m gonna try it soon!

Duane, that looks kick***. My wife and son are also fussy about legs. This could convert them. Awesome cook man.
