An Easy Crockpot Recipe the Whole Family Will Love: Honey Sesame Drumsticks

My crew doesn’t love chicken drumsticks, but I do because they’re a cost efficient way to feed a family. I had a large package of chicken drumsticks and wanted to try a new recipe that might change my families mind. I browsed a few recipes and didn’t have all of the ingredients for any of them. I decided to combine a few ideas I saw on Pinterest. The experiment turned into a new family favorite! My husband said it was the best chicken I have ever made and the kids loved it. I made it a few more times to make sure my experiment wasn’t a fluke. I’ve also made it with boneless chicken breasts in the crockpot and used over salad. 

Honey Sesame Crockpot Chicken Drumsticks

1/3 cup orange juice

1/4 cup soy sauce

Place the chicken into the crockpot. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl to make a sauce. Pour over the chicken. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 4-5 hours. I usually serve it with white or brown rice. Enjoy!
