Directions:
- Place the chicken drumsticks in the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Pour the sauce over the drumsticks, making sure they’re evenly coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Once done, transfer the drumsticks to a serving platter.
- Optional: For a thicker, glossier sauce, pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it reduces to your desired consistency. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the chicken before serving.
Variations & Tips:
- Spicy Kick: Add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a touch of heat.
- Tangy Twist: Stir in 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar for a zesty, tangy flavor.
- Swap the Cut: Use chicken thighs instead of drumsticks if preferred.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute soy sauce with tamari.
- Extra Flavor: Add a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger or a splash of sesame oil to the sauce for an extra layer of depth.
Serve these sticky, flavorful drumsticks with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
