Slow Cooker Chicken in a Hurry
Chicken cooked in a brown sugar, onion soup mix and ketchup sauce. Great for an easy dinner.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks about 3 pounds, skin removed
- ½ cup ketchup
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. dried parsley
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 oz. onion soup mix packet
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- To a small bowl add the ketchup, brown sugar, soup mix, cayenne pepper, parsley, and worcestershire sauce; whisk together.
- Next add the water and the cornstarch to the bowl whisk until completely combined.
- Spray a crockpot with nonstick spray, then chicken legs to the crockpot.
- Pour the soup mixture over the chicken legs.
- Cook on Low for five hours or until chicken is done.
Notes
- These tasted great with mashed potatoes.
- You can leave the skin on the legs for this recipe but I found that it made the sauce watery and did not allow the flavors to absorb into the meat as well.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
- You can freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Other cuts of chicken can be used. You can use boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Or you can use bone-in chicken breasts, but you will need to cook about an hour longer.
- If you don't want to use ketchup, you can use apricot jam, or chili sauce.
- A diced onion can be added for even more flavor.
