Here’s a delicious recipe for Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Drumsticks!
Ingredients:
- 10–12 chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Drumsticks: Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
- Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken drumsticks in the slow cooker. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring each drumstick is well coated.
- Cook the Drumsticks: Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the drumsticks from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until thickened. You can also broil the drumsticks for 3–5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
- Serve: Return the thickened sauce to the slow cooker and toss the drumsticks to coat. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
