INGREDIENTS:
- 3 pounds chicken drumsticks, skinless or with skin
- Salt and pepper
- 2 cups BBQ sauce, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS :
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towel. Trim excess skin (remove skin if desired).
In a small bowl, combine seasoning mix.
Arrange the chicken in a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle seasoning over drumsticks, tossing to coat. Brush 1 cup BBQ sauce over chicken.
Cover and cook over low heat for 5-6 hours or over high heat for 3-4 hours. Chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 160-165 degrees F.
Optional step: Turn on your oven broiler and place the oven rack in the top third of the oven. Line a large baking sheet with non-stick foil and arrange the chicken skin side up on the sheet. Brush with BBQ sauce and grill until skin begins to brown and crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Garnish with green onions if desired, just before serving
