Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken drumsticks (about 7-10)
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning* (or BBQ seasoning rub)
- 1¼ cups barbecue sauce (extra for serving)
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Steps
-
Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels and poke each one a few times with a fork.
-
Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the drumsticks and rub it in to coat.
-
Place the drumsticks in a single layer in the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker.
-
In a small bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce, honey, and garlic powder and pour the sauce mixture over the drumsticks.
-
Cover and cook on high for 2 to 4 hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
-
Optional: For a sticky glaze and crispy edges, transfer the drumsticks to a foil-lined baking sheet and broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly caramelized.
-
Serve with extra barbecue sauce for dipping.
