Wow! Those look fantastic.
I like doing lollipops. One way I do them is take a piece of bacon and season one side with black pepper, salt, and brown sugar. I then coat the chicken leg with a rub and then wrap the bacon, seasoned side next to chicken, around the leg and secure with a toothpick. Mop with a sweet BBQ sauce the last few minutes of grilling or in the SRG. l like the maple syrup idea.
