Slow Cooker Drumsticks

Nah Recipes By Nah Recipes

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 pounds chicken drumsticks
  • 1 ½ cups BBQ sauce

Instructions:

  1. Mix together the paprika, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl.
  2. Place the chicken drumsticks in a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with the spice mixture and toss to coat.
  3. Pour over ½ cups of bbq sauce and smooth to cover the tops of the chicken legs.
  4. Cover and cook on high for 2-4 hours or low for 4-6, or until the chicken is cooked through and very tender.

FOR CRISPY SKIN:

  1. Carefully remove to a foil lined broiler safe pan. Discard the remaining cooking liquid, or strain and reserve for another use.
  2. Brush all sides of the chicken legs with remaining 1 cup bbq sauce, then broil on high for 2-4 minutes, flip, then broil an additional 2 minutes or until just starting to crisp, watching it carefully to avoid burning. *Trust me, don’t walk away or the chicken will burn.

Notes:
Sugar content and nutritional information will depend on the specific BBQ sauce used.
For paleo and refined sugar free version, be sure to look for a barbecue sauce with paleo friendly ingredients.

Enjoy!
