Bacon Wrapped Sriracha Chicken Lollipops – Recipe from Jacob Schmier 1 of the winners of our recipe contest on Facebook and a 40lb bag of Cookinpellets!
2 pounds chicken drumsticks
1 pound bacon
Sriracha BBQ Sauce (Glaze)
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup sriracha
2/3 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup rice vinegar
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
¼ cup lime juice
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons onion powder
In medium pan over medium heat, heat the oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant (apprx. 30 seconds)
Add remaining ingredients to sauce pan and reduce heat to low
Stir occasionally for 20 minutes or until sauce has thickened while taking care not to let sauce boil
Sriracha Marinade
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup Dijon mustard
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
2 gloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Rinse chicken drumsticks and pat dry with paper towel.
Peel the skin off the drumsticks. The bacon helps maintain moisture and keeps the chicken from drying out.
Combine marinade ingredients, submerge chicken, and marinade in refrigerator for 4-6 hours. Remove chicken and discard marinade.
Using a sharp knife, cut around the bone, close to the knuckle end of the drumstick. Cut through tendons then press the meat down firmly to form a lollipop, trimming loose tendons with knife or kitchen scissors for better presentation. Pull remaining skin and cartilage off the knobby end of the drumstick and clean it up with a knife of kitchen scissors.
Wrap each drumstick with a piece of bacon and stand upright on Frogmat (http://www.cookinpellets.com/frogmats/) or wire rack for easy transfer to/from pellet grill.
Smoke at 250 degrees for 2 hours with Cookinpellets Perfect Mix, brushing with glaze every 10 minutes for last 40 minutes. Increase temperature to 300 degrees for last 10 minutes as necessary to ensure a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees.
