Sticky Chicken Drumsticks in the Slow Cooker

Directions:

1. Place the chicken drumsticks in the slow cooker.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic until well combined.
3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken drumsticks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
5. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place it on a serving platter.

Optional: To thicken the sauce, transfer it to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it reaches your desired consistency. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the chicken before serving.

Variations & Tips:

• For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
• If you prefer a tangy flavor, incorporate two tablespoons of rice vinegar.
• You can also substitute chicken thighs for drumsticks if you prefer a different cut of meat.
• For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
• Experiment with adding fresh ginger or a splash of sesame oil for additional depth of flavor.
