5 ingredient slow cooker chicken legs

by Rebecca April 8, 2021

Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 4 hrs | Total Time: 4 hrs 5 mins | Yield: Serves 6-8

Packed with flavour, this easy Slow Cooker Chicken Legs requires only five simple ingredients to make. A simple weeknight dinner that is a major crowd-pleaser. You can even throw in some of your favourite spice for extra flavour. And don’t forget the delicious sauce from when cooking the chicken. Serve that over rice and enjoy a complete meal with some steamed veggies on the side. This recipe is no doubt a must and to keep!

INGREDIENTS

3 to 3.5 lbs chicken legs or drumsticks

1 c. jam or jelly, see notes

1/2 c. ketchup

1/3 c. soy sauce

2 tsp minced garlic (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)

How to make 5 ingredient slow cooker chicken legs

Step 1: In the bottom of a slow cooker, place the chicken legs.

Step 2: Add the jam or jelly, ketchup, soy sauce, and garlic in a small bowl. Mix well until everything is incorporated.

Step 3: Over the chicken legs, pour the sauce.

Step 4: Cover the slow cooker, set it on high, and cook the chicken legs for 4 hours. Or 5 to 6 hours on low until completely cooked through.

Step 5: Serve the chicken hot. Enjoy!

NOTES:

For this recipe, feel free to use all kinds of jams and jellies such as grape, apple, apricot, or peach. But I normally stay away from jams with seeds like blueberry.

This recipe is very flexible and versatile. You can add 1 to 3 tbsp of Siracha or any of your preferred hot sauce for some kick. Even a tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning for a bit of smokiness. Or pop in some spices like onion powder, cumin, or ginger.

If desired, you can serve the delicious sauce over rice and serve these chicken legs with some steamed veggies for a complete meal.
