Equipment
- Large bowl
- grill grate or oven
- Sharp chef's knife
- Aluminum foil
- Paper towels
- Pastry brush
- Sheet pan
- Baking pan
Ingredients
- 6 chicken legs
- 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Wash and pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels. Place in large bowl.
- "French" the chicken drumsticks until you have exposed bones. Move on to the next step if you don't plan to "French" the drumsticks.
- Brush with any sauce you like. I used a soy sauce based Korean BBQ sauce. I actually just dipped my drumsticks in a small bowl of sauce. CAUTION: Do not reuse this sauce since it was in contact with raw chicken. Use fresh sauce for basting during cooking.
- Arrange the lollipop pieces in a baking pan. Cover the bone with foil if desired. Add a couple of garlic cloves and a cut lemon if desired.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven. If you like crispy skin, remove the drumsticks from the baking pan and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bastes generously with sauce.
- Return to oven for 10-15 minutes turning pan midway to ensure even browning.
- The internal temperature of the meat should be at ;east 165 degrees.
- Plate with the bottom of the drumstick down. Best eaten hot!
