🥣 You’ll Need
✅ 6–8 chicken drumsticks
✅ 1 cup honey BBQ sauce
✅ ¼ cup soy sauce
That’s it! Three ingredients that come together to make magic.
👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Arrange the drumsticks in the bottom of your slow cooker.
2️⃣ Pour the honey BBQ sauce and soy sauce over the top, turning the chicken so everything gets evenly coated.
3️⃣ Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours—until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
By the end, the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze that clings perfectly to each drumstick.
✨ Optional Upgrades

🧄 Garlic lover? Toss in a few minced cloves.
🥕 Want it heartier? Add small potatoes and sliced carrots for a full one-pot meal.
🔥 Finishing Touch
For an irresistible, slightly crispy finish, place the cooked drumsticks on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil them for about 5 minutes.
That quick blast of heat caramelizes the sauce and gives it that crave-worthy texture you’ll want every time.
