Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Snap the ends off the chicken drumsticks. In a bowl, mix smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Rub this mixture over each drumstick.
  2. Wrap with Bacon: Take two strips of bacon and wrap them around each drumstick, ensuring they are fully covered and overlapping.
  3. Arrange for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place each wrapped drumstick on the sheet with space between them.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to check for 165°F (74°C).
  5. Glaze and Broil: Brush barbecue sauce over the lollipops. Switch to broil and cook for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with dipping sauces.
