I’m glad you are here! You’re here because you love your slow cooker as much as I do right? And because these you want and perfect drummies without the hassle?
Well, grab a napkin! Slow Cooker Chicken Drummies are fall off the bone tender and exploding with barbecue flavor! My family devours like crazy, thank goodness they are easy and inexpensive!
Memorial Day is just around the corner. Can you hardly wait to crank the grill up? I looked at the 8 day forcast for my area. It is supposed to be windy and rainy the entire Memorial Day weekend. Even though the weather is bad, I still want to eat something that tastes barbecued. That’s when the old slow cooker comes in handy! These are so yummy you aren’t even going to miss the grill, or standing in the wind!
I make my own chicken rub to toss them in. You could always use one of those prepackaged rubs if you wanted to. Making them is simple and so much less expensive than buying them. I made two family sized packages of drummies so I tossed the spices in a 2 gallon Ziplock Bag.
Rinse and dry the drumsticks. Throw them in the bag. Shake everything up, call it exercise for the day! I let mine sit and refrigerate overnight, but that’s totally unnecessary. Do it if you want!

September 20, 2015 at 2:43 pmYour rub looks very interesting. I am going to have to give it try after all I can eat chicken every day and this looks like agreat recipe.
I noticed you have a group Pinterest Board called Serving Breakfast Lunch Dinner and Drinks. Would it possible to join the Board?
Thanks,
Tom

August 15, 2016 at 12:24 amHello! If the chicken is falling off the bone when you take them out of the slow cooker, is it difficult to transfer them to the baking sheet before broiling? I am just imagining that if the chicken becomes so tender from the crock pot that they would just fall apart when I attempt to tranfer them to the baking sheet. Does this ever happen to you?
Amy Engberson says
August 17, 2016 at 8:12 amYou are so right! The chicken is so tender it does fall off the bone if you don’t handle with care! I use tongs to move the chicken from the slow cooker to the baking sheet. Sometimes a little piece of meat will fall right off, but usually the skin on the drummies helps hold it together. It’s worth it though because they are so tender!

September 3, 2016 at 8:14 amDo I need to transfer to the broiler or can I just use my slow cooker?
Amy Engberson says
September 8, 2016 at 8:28 amYou could leave them in the slow cooker and skip the basting step, they would still taste fantastic. Broiling them adds a nice thick, sticky, layer of sauce to the top. I think I would miss it if it was gone. But then again, if I didn’t have time I would skip it and it would be fine!

October 17, 2017 at 10:31 pmHi Christel! Yes these drummies would be tasty without putting them under the broiler. It just helps create a glaze that sticks to the drummies but they would be just fine without it!
