The cook, step by step.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Cut chicken legs and remove muscle/hinger. First you start cutting the chicken legs. You do this halfway as in the picture below. The moment you cut the chicken legs all around you can loosen the end of the hinge. This takes some strength and can be a bit slippery so you should use a piece of kitchen roll for this, then you have more grip. Chances are that after removal of the hinge some muscles remain which can be cut loose with a small knife. So eventually you get chicken legs that look like the one below.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Herbing Kiplollies After you cut the kiplollies, it's time to season them all around with the BBQ Rub. You do this generously as shown in the picture below and you make sure to cover the entire part where meat is.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Wrap them in bacon/bacon After you seasoned the kiplollies, wrap them with bacon or bacon. Make sure to fold the end of the bacon under the already rolled bacon so that it stays in place. It may be that if you do not do this the bacon loosens during preparation and this is of course a shame for the final result. After wrapping, roll them all around through the herbs that are still on your cutting board or sprinkle some more. Don't be afraid to use too many herbs because some taste is always lost in the preparation.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    After seasoning the chicken lollipops, cook them on the BBQ. Cooking time varies, so use a meat thermometer to check them. Heat the barbecue to 180–200°C and cook the chicken to the recipe’s internal target of at least 85°C.

    BBQ temperature: 200°C
  5. 5

    Step 5

    Finish phase Once the internal temperature of the chicken is around 75 degrees and they are almost cooked, it is time to lubricate the kiplollies with the BBQ sauce you have chosen to use, this is what you do all around. After you put them on, it's time to let them cook around the fire until you reach 85 degrees. You will see that in this last phase the BBQ sauce also has a nice caramelising effect and makes it 1 beautiful whole. After all, the eye wants something.

    Internal temperature: 75°C
  6. 6

    Step 6

    Enjoy! After you have achieved the internal temperature it is time to serve the kiplollies and eat them delicious. This is one that makes sure you can't make normal chicken legs on the BBQ haha in the future Enjoy it!
