Sticky Crockpot Drumsticks
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce- of course make sure it's GF!
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger- (I didn't have any fresh so I used 1 T ground ginger)
- 2 teaspoons sriracha (or other hot pepper sauce)
- black pepper
- 10 chicken drumsticks, skin removed and discarded
- cilantro & toasted sesame seeds for garnish
In a sauce pan add the honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sriracha and season to taste with black pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the temperature and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sugars have dissolved and the sauce is beginning to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
In the bowl of a slow cooker, add the skinned chicken drumsticks and pour the sauce over. Move the chicken around a bit with tongs to coat completely. Put the lid on and cook on high for 4 hours, flipping chicken a couple of times during the cooking process. Just before serving, sprinkle with torn cilantro leaves and sesame seeds. Serve over rice and enjoy!
Perfect Crockpot Rice & Veges
2 C Uncooked Rice- Can be brown, white, or a combo
2 1/2 C Chicken Broth- You could try vegetable broth too
4 C Chopped Veges- Anything you heart desires- I used carrots, asparagus, mushrooms, and red onion
2 Cloves of Garlic- Minced
1 t seasoned salt
1 T Teriyaki Sauce- Make sure it's GF!
Throw everything in another crockpot and stir it up. Set it on low and let it cook for 3 hours. DO NOT stir it... trust me, you will only make it mushy! Be patient and leave it alone!
This recipe is very forgiving and always turns out perfectly!
