Uncle Bunny’s Barbecue Chicken Lollipops

Barbecue chicken is one of my favorite dishes, specifically my brother’s BBQ chicken. He has truly perfected the art and each time he fires up the grill we are all standing around waiting for a piece of his tangy and tender chicken. While we love all types of chicken, my family prefers the drumstick. This recipe is a fun and affordable protein option to feed your hungry family that will please adults and kids alike.
