Instructions

  1. Place the chicken in a large crockpot set on low heat.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together all the sauce ingredients.
  3. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken, using a spoon to make sure all the chicken is coated.
  4. Cook for 5-6 hours on low, or until the chicken reaches 165°F.
  5. After the chicken is cooked, you can serve it as is or take 2 cups of the leftover BBQ sauce/cooking liquid and heat it in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until it's thickened to your liking.
  6. Toss the thickened sauce with the drumsticks and serve.
