Vortex Lollipops - huh?

[FishTalesNC]

My kiddo has had a friend over since last night, so I wanted to grill something "fun" for them and landed on chicken lollipops. I prepped them and hit them with Plowboys Yardbird ~3 hours early.



Put a full chimney of lit KBB into the vortex, let the 26” preheat, then got them on with a hickory chunk.



After 45 min I added corn on the cob and sauced up the lollipops with Sweet Baby Rays.



Let the chicken go 10 more min just to let the sauce set and took them off.



Meanwhile finished the corn. I started doing it over direct heat this summer and personally like it better.



It was a hit, they were impressed and ate every bite - success!

Awesome cook. And this is the second or so time I’ve seen placing the wood chunk on top of the Vortex. It works so well. And it’s how I do all the time now.

Little bit of work but they sure are fun to serve. Nice job !!

You make those with full drumsticks? Or just the wing drummettes?

[FishTalesNC]

Full drumsticks. I think I watched a Malcom Reed YouTube video to learn how to prep them.

Oh those kids are happy!!! Great job. Doing some thighs tonight using the Vortex.

I am not a drumstick guy, but those look great!
