Description

Juicy, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone tender, these Crock Pot Chicken Drumsticks are perfect for an easy, hands-off dinner. With simple ingredients and minimal prep, this recipe is a family-friendly meal that pairs well with any side dish.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken drumsticks (about 8-10 pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce (or your favorite sauce)
  • 1/4 cup honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional Garnishes:

  • Chopped parsley
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and smoked paprika (if using).
  2. Combine Sauce Ingredients:
    • In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce, honey (if using), and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Layer in the Crock Pot:
    • Place the seasoned drumsticks in the slow cooker, layering as needed. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Cook the Drumsticks:
    • Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the drumsticks are tender and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Optional Step for Crispy Skin:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Transfer the cooked drumsticks to a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush with additional barbecue sauce and broil for 3–5 minutes, or until the skin is slightly crispy.
  6. Serve:
    • Garnish with chopped parsley or sesame seeds, and serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • To make it spicier, add 1 teaspoon of chili powder or a splash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
  • For a sticky glaze, cook the sauce in the Crock Pot uncovered for the last 30 minutes to thicken.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
