I’ve now made this for 4 covered dish potlucks and it disappears within minutes!
This Slow Cooker Honey Soy Chicken recipe is a delightful combination of savory and sweet flavors that perfectly meld together to create a mouthwatering dish. Tender chicken drumsticks are marinated in a rich blend of garlic, ginger, honey, and soy sauce, then slow-cooked to perfection, allowing the flavors to intensify and the meat to become incredibly tender.
