Chicken Drumsticks in a Slow Cooker

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you cook chicken drumsticks in a slow cooker? Gather all your ingredients. Use sour cream of any fat content, and go with a milder mustard. Peel the onion and rinse it under cold water. Rinse the chicken drumsticks and pat them completely dry with a paper towel — the marinade sticks better to dry meat.

2. Step 2:

   

   Make the marinade for the meat. How? Take a roomy bowl — plastic, glass, or ceramic. Stir the sour cream together with the mustard in it.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add a little salt and seasoning to taste. For seasonings you can use ground pepper, paprika, or dried herbs like dill, parsley, or basil — or a ready-made chicken spice blend. For extra aroma, add a little garlic pressed through a garlic press. Mix everything together well.

4. Step 4:

   

   Coat the drumsticks all over with the marinade, as thoroughly as you can, so it covers them evenly. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let it marinate for 1 hour.

5. Step 5:

   

   Once the drumsticks have marinated, turn to the onion. Peel it and cut it into dice.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour a little vegetable oil into the bottom of the slow cooker's pot and add the marinated drumsticks. Add the chopped onion. Set the pot in the slow cooker, cover, and run it on the "Bake" setting for 30 minutes. Choose the setting based on your slow cooker's model.

7. Step 7:

   

   The meat cooks fast. Once or twice during cooking, you can lift the lid and stir so the drumsticks don't start to scorch. The time given is plenty for them to cook through. As you can see, the meat is starting to pull away from the bone — that means it's done!

8. Step 8:

   

   Plate the finished drumsticks and serve. Enjoy!
