Ingredients
- 12 pieces chicken drumettes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken drumettes. With a sharp knife, cut around the bone at the thinner end of each drumette and push the meat down to create a lollipop shape. Repeat with all the drumettes.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Step 3
Add the prepared chicken lollipops to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Mix well to coat the chicken in the spice mixture evenly.
Step 4
Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This will help the flavors to infuse into the meat.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Arrange the chicken lollipops on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for even cooking.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 8
While the chicken is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing honey and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until combined and warmed through.
Step 9
After 20 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and brush each lollipop with the honey-vinegar glaze.
Step 10
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the glaze is sticky and the chicken is fully cooked with a golden-brown exterior.
Step 11
Transfer the glazed chicken lollipops to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low sodium chicken lollipops!
