Ingredients

• 12 pieces Chicken drumsticks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Low-carb hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of it.

Step 2

Prepare the chicken drumsticks by creating the lollipop shape: Hold the drumstick with the thicker side down, using a sharp knife, cut around the bone at the narrow end to loosen the meat. Push the meat down toward the thicker end to form a lollipop shape.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Add the chicken lollipops to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Arrange the coated chicken lollipops on the wire rack on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is crispy.

Step 7

While the chicken is baking, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the low-carb hot sauce and stir to combine. Keep warm.

Step 8

Once the chicken lollipops are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a minute.

Step 9

Brush each chicken lollipop generously with the butter and hot sauce mixture.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
