If you don’t have smoked garlic powder, regular garlic powder works just fine.
Make rosemary powder by microblending dried rosemary until fine.
For extra caramelization, brush barbecue sauce on the chicken lollipops before broiling.
Can I use regular drumsticks instead of lollipop chicken?
Yes, but lollipop chicken is easier to handle and looks more appealing for parties.
What barbecue sauce works best?
Use your favorite barbecue sauce, but smoky or sweet varieties pair particularly well with this recipe.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prepare the dry rub and coat the chicken in advance, but bake and glaze them just before serving for the best texture.
What if I don’t have a broiler?
You can bake the chicken for an additional 5–10 minutes at a higher temperature to caramelize the sauce.
How do I ensure the chicken stands upright in the dish?
Use a dish with a snug fit or arrange the drumsticks closely together to keep them upright.
