  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 36 minute

Ingredients

– 8 chicken drumsticks
– 1 cup barbecue sauce (or sauce of your choice)
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Creating these Incredible Slow Cooker Drumsticks is incredibly straightforward. Just follow these simple steps, and in no time, you’ll have a delicious meal ready to enjoy!

1. Prepare the Drumsticks: Start by patting the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This helps the skin crisp up well during cooking.

2. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the drumsticks, ensuring an even coating.

3. Add to Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned drumsticks into the slow cooker.

4. Pour the Sauce: Drizzle the barbecue sauce (or your preferred sauce) over the drumsticks, making sure they are well coated.

5. Cover and Cook: Secure the lid on the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. The longer you cook, the more tender the chicken will become.

6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

7. Serve: Once done, carefully remove the drumsticks from the slow cooker and serve them hot. You can drizzle more sauce over them if desired.

8. Optional Broil Step: For an extra touch of crispiness, you can quickly broil the drumsticks in your oven for 3-5 minutes. Just place them on a baking sheet and broil until the skin gets a nice golden color.
