Instructions

  1. Coat the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray.
  2. Rub the BBQ spice all over the drumsticks, then place the drumsticks in the slow cooker in layers.
  3. Pour 2 cups of BBQ sauce into the slow cooker. Gently toss to coat.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Preheat the broiler.
  6. Remove the chicken drumsticks from the slow cooker and place them in a single layer on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray.
  7. Brush the remaining 1/2 cup sauce over the drumsticks. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until edges are starting to brown and crisp, then serve.

Notes

  • Leave the skin on your drumsticks, the skin helps to keep the meat from drying out.
  • Watch your chicken carefully under the broiler! You want to crisp up the edges a bit, but you don’t want your drumsticks to burn.
