I just seen the on high sorry about that 🙂
Cyn says
When making in crockpot what temperature should I use for the 3 1/2 hours thanks in advance
Jackie says
Fantastic! This recipe will now be replacing Nana’s BBQ Chicken legs made in the oven. Nothing was leftover (I used 6 legs for a family of 3).
Heidi says
Aww ~ so glad to hear you liked it, Jackie! It’s a family favorite here, too. 😉
Christina says
I have this in my crockpot for the second time today! A few weeks ago I made it for myself and put 6 drumsticks in, with the intentions of having leftovers…….they were so amazing I ate them all!!! Ooops!
I put in 7 today (that’s how many were in the package I bought), so we will see if I can keep some for leftovers this time!!!
Heidi says
Haha… aren’t they so delicious, Christina? They’re a family favorite here, too… and we’ve never had any leftovers. 😉
Ashley vetter says
Is it the same cook time for frozen drumsticks? Or do I need to thaw them?
Heidi says
Hi Ashley ~ I would recommend thawing them first. If you end up using slightly frozen drumsticks, you’ll just need to extend the time a bit. 🙂
THOMAS THOMPSON says
I’M LOOKING FOR A RECIPE FOR CROCKPOT CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS, SOMETHING EASY.
I NEED HOW LONG TO COOK, AND SOME EASY INGREDIENTS. THANKS, I LOVE YOUR WEB SITE.
Emilee says
Have you tried adding rice into it? Would I be able to add that into the crockpot, if so, how much?
Heidi says
Hi Emilee ~ I haven’t tried that, but if you do… let me know how it turns out!
Jen says
If I split this recipe in half and only make 5-6 chicken legs, is the cook time the same?
Whitney says
I LOVE this recipe. My only question is, my crock pot is very small and can only fit 5 drumsticks on the bottom. If I wanted to make more is it ok to stack then on top of each other? Will they all cook through the same?
Jessica says
did you end up stacking them? cause i am only able to fix 6 on the bottom, and i want to do 12.
Mary Stark says
The picture shows they are layered.
August says
This was really good! I just made it tonight! My family loved it! I was nervous to cook the chicken without anything on it, but it was so delicious. My husband even said this was the best cooked chicken I have made…very tender. Thank you!
Heidi says
I’m so glad your family liked it, August! Isn’t it SO easy to make? 🙂
Destiny says
What would be time frame on low setting?
Heidi says
Hi Destiny ~ if cooking on the low setting, a good rule of thumb is to double the cooking time. Just keep an eye on them to see when they’re done. Hope that helps! 😉
