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.

Crock Pot Barbecue Chicken



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).

Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Legs Notes

  • We love using this Low Carb BBQ Sauce in our favorite recipes that call for BBQ sauce to lower the carb count. It tastes more like our favorite sweet and smoky carb-filled bbq sauces than a lot of the pre-bottled low carb bbq sauces on the market.
  • This recipe is adapted from a recipe found in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • Cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
