🥣 How to Make It:
-
Place the Drumsticks in the Slow Cooker:
Lay the raw chicken drumsticks evenly across the bottom. -
Mix the Sauce:
In a bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce, honey, and soy sauce until fully combined. This creates a sweet, tangy, slightly savory glaze that will soak into the chicken as it cooks. -
Pour Over the Chicken:
Make sure all drumsticks are coated well in the mixture. -
Cook on LOW for 6–7 Hours or HIGH for 3–4 Hours:
The chicken will become incredibly tender, and the sauce will thicken into a sticky, flavorful glaze. -
Optional (but delicious):
For crispy edges, transfer the cooked drumsticks to a baking sheet and broil for 3–5 minutes after slow cooking.
