Comment on Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Drumsticks by Andy
Another thing I love about drumsticks is that you can buy a huge package and they are generally pretty inexpensive. When you have a teenage boy in the house, you can go through massive quantities of food rather quickly. Making up a big batch of these is pretty quick and I don’t have to worry about how many times he goes back for more.
I chose to brown these up a bit before slow cooking them to give them a nice crispy skin. Not only do they look prettier, it sears the seasoning on and makes them taste better too.
If you already have the grill going, you can toss these on the grill instead, but otherwise these are perfect for slow cooking all day. They also make great leftovers, so if you want something delicious to serve at a picnic, I suggest making up a batch ahead of time and then taking them along. Such an easy thing to serve to a crowd or when eating outside because you can eat them with your hands.
The kids will go nuts for these! Just grab 'em and eat 'em! Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Drumsticks are insanely easy to make, but we don't have to tell!
