Grilled Stuffed Boneless Drumsticks!

[Gunslinger]

De-boned these Saturday, stuffed with a creme cheese concoction, sewed up the big end, glazed in sweet and sour sauce then grilled.
These are a good appetizer and you can stuff them with anything, just make sure the stuffing gets to 170° before you eat them. And stuff only about 1/2 full, because they shrink up quite a bit.

Raw just after de-boning. Once you get to the end of the bone, chop it, leaving about 3/4 of an inch intact. That plugs the small end.


Here's a batch just off the grill.


This is a whole leg, and these were pretty big to start out, but shrunk up quite a bit. This is on a small desert plate.


Yummy.


These are awesome with crumbled fatty, diced smoked pork loin, wild rice, or even a typical croûton and sage stuffing. But this here is Heavenly.

They look great and I like the idea !!!

So how do you debone a thigh and what do you sew them with, regular sewing thread, fishing line.....?

[Fishawn]

Gunny, you get just for having the persistence and patience to cut the bones outta those things not to mention the delicious looking food you turned them into. Way to go Buddy!

These are legs Dude. Thighs suck to debone, especially if the ribs are attached. I sewed up the ends of these with butcher twine. Can't remember the diameter, but it's small.

Pretty easy really. It takes me about 15 minutes to debone 20 of them, then it took probably 30 minutes to fill and sew. I use a decorators bag for the filling, but a zip-lock with the corner cut off would work too.

Thanks. It really isn't bad once you have done it a couple of times. Try to debone a whole chicken for the first time.

from me too. I gotta say, thats is incredibly ingenious. I woulda never thought of that in a million years.

So it looks like ya push the bone up from the small end through the large end? Lop it off and push it back down?

You got my imagination goin now, thanks a ton for that!

on edit, the points hafta wait till tomorrow, seems as I have spent too many today. All these great smokes this weekend, all I did was buffalo drummies( with the bone in lol).
