How to turn chicken drumsticks into lollipop chicken?

Step 1:

Use a sharp paring knife, cut around the small end of the drumstick making sure to cut through all the ligaments and skin.

Step 2:

Use a kitchen shear to cut as many of the tendons. work the shears around the bone so you have completely separated the top half from the bottom.

Step 3

Push all of the meat down the drumstick to the bottom. There is one pin bone to look out for as you push down. if any tendons are still attached use the shears to cut them.

Step 4:

With the meat loosened, pull the meat down towards the bottom, and ball it up. Repeat process for all remaining drumsticks. 

Step 5

Then clean and season the meat and place it in the baking dish and cook the chicken lollipop recipe.

What a mighty God we serve!. He can do all things. But we are human. We are imperfect beings. We all once were living in this world without knowing God. The pressure of life gets to you at times, stress and struggle, pain and suffering, the cares of the world. We all needed help at some point in our lives. Thank you Jesus for revealing yourself to us when we needed you the most. Now all the things we felt and went through while we were blind, we have Him to give it to. Once we are righteous and pleasing in his sight, who can stand against us? Who can move us if God is for us?

Give all your cares and troubles to God, continue to pray to Him, put it all in his hands, don’t worry, have no fear. Walk by faith and not by sight. For he knows what we need before we even ask. He knows what we go through. As he said in the book of Matthew “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest.” He is the same God yesterday, today, and forevermore.
