Anyone with kids knows that any meal that can be eaten with your fingers is a win. This why these crock pot chicken legs where a hit at our house the other night. This is by far one of our favorite recipes so far in the Gooseberry Patch Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round Cookbook.
The chicken legs were of course frozen and were frozen till about 10 minutes prior to me starting to make this recipe.
I did a partial defrost in the microwave and then placed them in a deep skillet. Hit with salt and pepper.
Cover the chicken with some water and let the drumsticks simmer until they are just cooked.
Transfer the the drumsticks to the crock pot. 
And add the flavor…cover the chicken with butter slices, onion salt or powder, garlic salt or powder, pepper, barbeque sauce and hot pepper sauce.
Then cook on high for two hours or low for four hours. Stir once or twice, then transfer to low and cook for another two hours.
Now, my friend Cris who also made these chicken legs told me she popped the legs in the broiler to crisp up the skin. Which is brilliant because the skin was just pulled off by all of us and tossed. Crispy skin would make this a complete home run!

Your recipe looks great! I love my crock pot especially on very cold days like this. Thanks for hosting! I am glad I was off work today and could participate!
I have made chicken like this many times! Like your friend, I stick it under the broiler for a few minutes before I serve it! Love an easy yet delicous meal.
