At a festival in New Orleans someone was selling roasted chicken drumsticks which were off the charts good. The bone was scraped and the cartilage removed. The meat was balled up on the end of the bone and tasted fantastic. Anyone heard of this and know how to prepare it to cook? I would love to reproduce those on the grill or oven.

That would be a chicken lollipop

Ok. I’ll see if I can find a decent recipe to make it.

Look up “how to bbq right” on YouTube. He does a chicken lollipop video. I’ve done it. They are very good but a lot of incremental work beyond just smoking the drumsticks. It’s all for the presentation. The meat doesn’t change.

If you've watched Jacques Pepin debone a chicken, he briefly shows it there:

They make a great finger food to impress friends. But it's VERY tedious

Agreed. Used to make them for parties and serve with a sort of Asian sweet pepper type sauce. Really good and probably the only time I eat a drumstick.

Actually he shows it with the wing which is even more tedious compared to the actual meat you get.

However if you have deboned like he shows you are missing out. I stumbled upon this video a few years ago and haven’t stopped cooking deboned chickens yet. And tons of ways to stuff. Boudin works well.

Gotcha, it's been a while since I've watched it but it's the first thing that came to mind.

I think you misworded this.

Now, that you say that, we made them with the wings. They were pretty much one bite deals.

Malcolm definitely has a chicken lollipop video, its from 4-5 years ago though. If I'm not eating wings, I'd take a drumstick.

Big ms Goldie legs on sale at our small town grocery family pack 89 cents a lb. We love doing hot legs with em bake in oven on parchment paper turning every 15 minutes for an hour and a half at 350. We season em before baking with good Cajun seasoning and a lil woo. once baked toss em in wing sauce and they really very good. More meaty and delicous than wings at a fraction of the cost
