Asian Chicken Drumsticks in the Slow Cooker

You can broil your chicken before placing into the slow cooker for a crispy skin, but broiling afterwards works as well!

THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 2 1/2 lbs chicken drumsticks
• Salt and pepper
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes optional

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/8 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp. tomato paste
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1 1/2 tsp. freshly chopped ginger

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Arrange chicken in 6-quart slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes.
2. Combine sauce ingredients and pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until chicken is cooked through (160-165F.)
3. For crispy skin, broil your chicken until golden! You can also do this before placing into the slow cooker but I find the final broiling to yield great results!
4. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds if desired. Serve over rice.
