<\/span>Slow Cooker Chicken Drumsticks<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s something magical about the aroma of a slow-cooked meal filling your home, and this recipe for Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Legs with Roasted Potatoes and Carrots is no exception.<\/p>\n

All the flavors and textures you want but it requires minimal effort, thanks to the convenience of a slow cooker. This recipe is truly simplicity at its best, great for a busy weeknight dinner. This is one of my favorite ways to get dinner on the table when there is a lot of after school events going on. All the work is done before the chaos and the food is ready to go at dinner time.<\/p>\n

The best part is that this can be a complete meal that the entire family can enjoy. Personally I love how the veggies have a roast like flavor to them, and for my kids their favorite part is the tender chicken legs.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Ingredients<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Baby Potatoes<\/strong> \u2013 This can be red potatoes or yellow, or even a mixture of both. I like to use the super convenient bags of pre-washed baby potatoes, that way there is zero prep work for the potatoes.<\/li>\n
  • Carrots<\/strong> \u2013 You will want about a pound, most store will sell carrots in a one pound bag so you can just grab one of those if they have it. Otherwise a pound is about 6 large carrots. \u00a0(You can also just use baby carrots too)<\/li>\n
  • Chicken Legs<\/strong> \u2013 You will want 8 chicken legs. I found this is about the perfect amount to lay out in a layer in the crockpot, 8 chicken drumsticks will be about 3 pounds.<\/li>\n
  • Olive Oil<\/strong> \u2013 Yes we are putting everything in the crockpot but we are using a little olive oil to get the Italian Seasoning to stick and stay on the veggies and chicken.<\/li>\n
  • Italian Seasoning<\/strong> \u2013 If you don\u2019t have any at home you can always pick up some at the grocery store or you can hop over to my recipe for Homemade Italian Seasoning. If the seasoning you choose doesn\u2019thave salt you are going to want to make sure you add some to the meal!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Cook in Slow Cooker<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Carefully arrange the seasoned chicken legs in a single layer on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, ensuring the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165\u00b0F.<\/p>\n

    Optional Broiling (Crispy Finish)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    For those who crave a crispy finish on the chicken legs. Preheat the oven to broil (high), lightly grease a sheet pan, and transfer the chicken legs to the pan. Broil for 3-4 minutes until they reach a golden brown hue, then flip and repeat for the other side.<\/p>\n
