Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Perfect Slow Cooker Drumsticks

1. Prepare the Chicken

Start by washing the drumsticks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture ensures the seasoning adheres better. Place the drumsticks in a large bowl.

2. Season the Drumsticks

In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drizzle the drumsticks with olive oil and rub the seasoning mixture evenly over each piece. This seasoning acts as the base layer of flavor.

3. Create the Sauce

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Whisk the ingredients until the sauce is smooth and well combined. This rich and tangy sauce will elevate the drumsticks to a new level of flavor.

4. Arrange the Drumsticks in the Slow Cooker

Place the seasoned drumsticks in a single layer at the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the drumsticks, ensuring they are well coated. Use a spoon to spread the sauce if necessary.

5. Cook to Perfection

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the drumsticks on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. The low and slow cooking process ensures the chicken becomes tender and juicy while soaking up the sauce.
