Directions
BBQ Bacon Wrapped Chicken Lollipops
Preheat Pellet Smoker to 300 degrees.
Lollipop your chicken legs by removing the top and bottom knuckles from the chicken legs. (See video on how to do this)
Pull the skin back on your chicken legs and season the chicken with my AbsolutelyFreakinKiller AP Rub. Pull the skin down and season the outside of the skin the same way.
Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each chicken leg and secure it with your Grill Pinz.
Season the outside of the bacon with my Smokey Sweet Rub and place on the grill. Allow chicken to cook until the internal temperature reaches 165-170 degrees, flipping halfway in between.
Once the chicken is done, dunk them in the Pineapple Chipotle BBQ Sauce and back on the smoker for another 10-15 minutes until the sauce is set.
Remove the Grill Pinz from the chicken, garnish with chopped parsley and serve em up!
