I made smoked chicken lollipops today. They are a bit of effort but so worth it. Quickly they have become a family favourite. Thinking doing these up with turkey drumsticks would be very fun.

        I dunno, really, it’s the skin and tendons… I try to minimise good waste as best I can, but the bits cut off and removed would be the part you hold the drum and likely didn’t eat. I’d say it feels like waste but really no one eats that bit. Plus, this way if you have pets, they get a treat and that skin and 5mm of tendon gets eaten 🙂

            Thanks! The kids really enjoyed them, I think there is less meat left on the bone when they eat these lollipops, so that’s a win. It isn’t Reddit, but someone sure has the attitude to make it feel like it! 🤣😂🤣 am I right?

              With the parts you peeled off for the look could you possibly make a broth? Or not enough material to work with?

                Hmm good question. I haven’t made my own broth so I don’t know how much is needed. I’m sure you could use it. I used it for pet treats. Something to consider.

          Good answer but ignore them they’re a downvote troll. Which makes even less sense on Lemmy than it did on Reddit…
