Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup and garlic.
  2. Spray the slow cooker with a spray cooking oil. Place the chicken drumsticks inside the bottom of the slow cooker, stacking the chicken if necessary.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken drumsticks.
  4. Cook the chicken drumsticks on high for 4 hours (or low for 6 hours). Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. 
  • To make sure the chicken has cooked all the way through, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. The meat will be fully cooked at 160 degrees, but will taste the most tender when it registers at least at 170-175 degrees.
  • It's better to place the chicken in a single layer as it's the easiest way to ensure the chicken is equally saucy, but they could be stacked as well. If stacking the chicken drumsticks make sure to toss the chicken in the sauce again well before serving.
  • Chicken thighs or chicken legs can also be substituted easily into this recipe. Chicken wings can be used in this recipe, but may cook quicker.
  • The chicken can be frozen in the sauce to make a freezer meal, but the chicken and sauce must be defrosted before cooking in the slow cooker.
