These Bacon Wrapped Chicken Drumsticks are always a winner at barbecues. It helps that they can be prepared in advance, leaving less to worry about when it's barbecue time. Whilst these are bacon-wrapped, you can also try pancetta instead, which I find tends to be easier to work with. Oh – and bacon really isn't all that bad, providing what you buy is good quality – so there's no reason not to enjoy.
These drumsticks are perfect for any BBQ gathering, providing a tasty and satisfying option for your guests. The combination of chicken and bacon is simply irresistible, and the ease of preparation makes them a go-to choice for any event.
