How to Make BBQ Chicken Legs in a Slow Cooker

 

Cris here.

The idea for these super simple chicken legs came from a great recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round. The first time I made them, I tweaked them to lighten them up a bit and came up with this recipe.

This time around? I am just lazy 😉 You heard me. I love my chicken without skin BUT I detest skinning my chicken. So I decided to throw the drumsticks in with the skin. Season with Lawry’s and pepper. Cook on low for 6-7 hours. Then I carefully pulled the tender legs out of the pot and scrapped the skin away. Super easy. Baste with BBQ and pop in the broiler for 3 minutes and they are simply perfection!

UPDATED: As you can tell in our updated pictures, I got even lazier 😉 Ha! Now I just leave the skin on and everyone decides on their plate whether or not they want to eat it ;).

Making Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Legs Low Carb

This recipe is very easy to adapt to low carb by using any low carb bbq sauce (or our homemade low carb bbq sauce).
