Slow Cooker Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Drumsticks

These Hawaiian BBQ chicken drumsticks are slow-cooked in a sweet and tangy sauce made from soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. After cooking, the drumsticks are broiled with sauce glaze to develop a slightly caramelized finish. Garnished with cilantro and served with fresh pineapple slices, they offer a juicy and flavorful poultry dish.
