Ingredients:
6-8 chicken drumsticks
1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
1/4 cup of honey
1 tablespoon of soy sauce (optional for an extra savory touch)
Directions:
Place the chicken drumsticks in the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, and soy sauce (if using). Stir to mix well.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken drumsticks, making sure they’re all evenly coated.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once done, carefully remove the chicken and serve immediately. Optionally, you can baste the drumsticks with more sauce before serving for an extra glaze.

Serve the drumsticks with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them up in the microwave or in a covered dish in the oven.
For a meal prep-friendly version, you can divide the drumsticks into single-serving portions and store them in individual containers.
