Recipes for chicken drumsticks in slow cooker?

I need some recipes for chicken drumsticks in a slow cooker. I usually cook them then take the meat off then put them in the sauce. I usually use jar or packet sauces. But I would like to make something different. It has to be suitable for small children. And not cost alot of money.

Toss the legs in the crockpot w/ a sliced onion and a bottle of BBQ sauce. Cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.

You can also toss legs in, then add a dry packet of chicken gravy mix, a dry packet of Italaian salad dressing mix, and a dry packet of Ranch dressing mix.

Sticky Crockpot Chicken Drumsticks





Prep Time: 15 minutes


Cook Time: 10 hours,





Ingredients:


4 tsp. salt


2 tsp. paprika


1 tsp. chili powder


1 tsp. onion powder


1 tsp. thyme leaves


1 tsp. white pepper


1/2 tsp. garlic powder


1/2 tsp. black pepper


4 lbs. chicken drumsticks, skinned if desired


1 cup chopped onion





Preparation:


In a small bowl, thoroughly combine salt and all the spices. Rinse drumsticks and pat dry with paper towel. Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, skin side and bone side, making sure it is evenly distributed and pressed down deep into the skin. Place in a resealable plastic bag, seal, place in a baking pan to catch any drips, and refrigerate overnight.


Place the onions in the bottom of a 4 quart crockpot and top with the chicken and spices. Cook on LOW for 8-12 hours until very tender.





I did try these, and they are really good. You can also cook the whole chicken, but the drumsticks are my favorite! Mine cooked in about 7 hours, so be sure to watch it around that time.





Hope that helps!
