Caramel Apple Cider Chicken Lollipops

Directions

1. Preheat grill or smoker to 350 degrees.
2. Cut the bottom (meaty end) of the drumstick down about ¼ inch so the drumstick has a flat surface and will stand up on its end.
3. Cut around the drumstick about 2 inches away from the bony end. Pull the meat down slightly toward the meat end.
4. Using the paring knife or a bird’s beak knife, peel away remaining meat from the bony end.
5. Generously season the lollipops with Cock-A-Doodle Brew Rub.
6. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 25-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 near the bone.
7. Make the sauce while the chicken is cooking.
8. Combine the apple cider, sugar and honey in a saucepot and place over medium heat until the liquid begins to boil.
9. Reduce heat to low and reduce the sauce to ¼ or until thickened. (you can us a slurry to thicken if desired)
10. Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce is ready, dunk the chicken in the sauce and serve.
