To make the chicken legs into “lollipops”:
1. Grab the thin end of the leg firmly, then carefully cut through the skin surrounding the bone, using a sawing motion and turning the chicken leg around.
2. Once the skin is cut all around, use your knife to scrape down the meat from the bone. You may need to cut through a couple of sinews.
3. Push the meat down to the other end. Using your fingers, pull the meat over the fat end of the bone so that it is inside out.
4. Take the chicken legs, and rub them down with oil, salt and pepper.
5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
6. Start a saucepan on low heat and combine vinegar, honey, dill and butter and give it a stir every once in a while. Let it reduce almost the whole time the chicken is cooking.
7. Turn the chicken every 15-20 minutes until done so it gets evenly crisp. Your glaze will begin to harden on the stove top.
8. Take the pan drippings from the chicken and whisk it into the sauce pan mixture. This will create a beautiful and delicious glaze.
9. Roll the chicken legs around in the glaze and serve! Display chicken leg lollipops with different barbecue sauces for your guests to dip and taste!
