Crockpot Chicken Drumstick
Essential minerals and beneficial vitamins can be found in chicken legs. Despite the popularity of chicken breast as the only cut that is a healthy part of the chicken, the drumstick has ample amounts of vitamin B-12, essential for nerve cell health. You can also find significant amounts of phosphorus and selenium in the chicken drumstick. These essential minerals help support your thyroid gland health and protect your blood vessels from damage. These are good reasons to include chicken legs in your diet. They are also cheaper than chicken breasts.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (120milliliter) tamari
1/2 cup (120milliliter) chicken broth
4 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha
2 tablespoons coconut sugar
juice of 1 lime
1" fresh ginger, peeled & minced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 pounds (1.8kilograms) chicken drumsticks
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds to garnish
Steps
Whisk together the tamari, chicken broth, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, coconut sugar, lime juice, ginger, and garlic in a large bowl.
Place the chicken drumsticks into a large bowl and pour over the marinade, taking time to ensure each drumstick is well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
When ready to cook, place the drumsticks into the bowl of the slow cooker and pour over the marinade. Cook on high for 3 hours until the drumsticks are tender and cooked.
Preheat the broiler (grill) to high. Line a large baking sheet with kitchen foil.
Transfer the drumsticks to the baking sheet and broil until golden and crisp, roughly 3-5 minutes.
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
