    Can I cook drumsticks in the crockpot?

    I love chicken drumsticks but rarely have time to fry them. I started wondering if I could cook drumsticks in the crock pot to save time.

    I discovered that you sure can and they are pretty amazing too! The chicken drumsticks turned out so amazing!

    They were packed with flavor and so tender. It is such a time saver making these in your crockpot.

    My family loved it so much they asked me to always make chicken drumsticks this way!

    Can you put frozen drumsticks in a crockpot?

    Yes, you can. Simply, follow the same instructions but increase the cooking time for the frozen chicken.

    Frozen chicken legs in crock pot are just as easy and delicious. If you forget to take something out of the freezer, just toss frozen drumsticks in crockpot for a easy and tasty meal.

    How do I make chicken legs in crock pot simple and crispy?

    I like my chicken drumsticks to have a little crisp to the edges. If you are concerned that they might be soggy in the slow cooker, we have a tip for you.

    When the chicken is finished cooking,  place the drumsticks on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Broil for 1-5 minutes until it begins to brown.

    Remove from oven, flip the drumsticks, and broil the other side for another 1-5 minutes until brown.

    This will give you just the right amount of crispiness to the outside of the drumsticks. This has quickly become one of our favorite Chicken drumstick slow cooker recipes easy and simple for any day of the week.

    We love this meal and have fun trying different variations. We have even cut up chicken breast or used regular chicken legs with this recipe.

    You can certainly use store bought BBQ sauce but it is very simple to learn how to make homemade barbecue sauce with very little effort! If you like more of a sweet barbecue sauce, add a little brown sugar to the slow cooker chicken.

    Another idea is to use your instant pot if you need dinner on the table at the last minute. Chicken drumstick recipes can be prepared so easily and without much work.

    If you are in the market for something new, I really love my Ninja cooker.  We use this one frequently because you can brown the meat in the same slow cooker for recipes that call for that.

    It cuts down on pans to clean and just makes thinks really simple. It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances.

    I also really like this crockpot as well.  I use this all the time and it’s great.

    My favorite feature is that you can lock the lid down. This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.

    I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing! There are several others on sale here.

    Another favorite is this programmable crock pot  for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!
