Crock Pot Maple Dijon Chicken Drumsticks
Description
Crock Pot Maple Dijon Chicken Drumsticks begin by seasoning skinless chicken legs with garlic salt and black pepper. These are then layered in a slow cooker with a smooth sauce made of maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard. The combination provides sweetness from the maple, tanginess from the balsamic, and a mild pungency from the mustard.
The slow cooking method on high heat for four hours allows the drumsticks to become tender and infused with the sauce flavors without drying out. The cooking liquid coats the chicken, creating a moist texture and glossy finish.
This dish serves well as a main course, paired with simple sides like rice, steamed vegetables, or potatoes. It's convenient for hands-off cooking and suitable for batch cooking. Using skinless chicken reduces fat and allows the sauce's flavors to shine clearly.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumstick skinless
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 3/4 tsp garlic salt
- black pepper fresh cracked
Instructions
- Season chicken with garlic salt and pepper and place in slow cooker. Combine maple, balsamic, and Dijon in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour over the legs, making sure the chicken is covered. Set a 6-quart slow cooker to HIGH and cook 4 hours, or until cooked through and tender.
