These Slow Cooker Sweet Baby Ray’s Chicken Drumsticks are the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it comfort food. By letting the chicken simmer slowly in the classic, smoky-sweet barbecue sauce, the meat becomes incredibly tender and falls right off the bone with practically zero effort on your part.

Slow Cooker Sweet Baby Ray’s Chicken Drumsticks

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Season the meat: Rub the chicken drumsticks evenly with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Layer in the cooker: Arrange the seasoned drumsticks inside the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce over the top, adding a splash of honey, brown sugar, or red pepper flakes if you want extra sweetness or heat.

3. Slow cook until tender: Cover the pot and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours until the chicken is completely tender and cooked through.

4. Thicken the sauce: If you prefer a thicker, stickier barbecue glaze, take the lid off the slow cooker and let it cook uncovered on high for an additional hour.

5. Crisp the skin (optional): For a caramelized, crispy exterior, transfer the cooked drumsticks to a foil-lined baking sheet and place them under your oven broiler for 2 to 3 minutes.

6. Garnish and serve: Remove from the heat and serve the drumsticks hot, topped with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or sesame seeds if desired.
