I went to the supermarket yesterday and found a family pack of 6 chicken legs on sale for 5 dollars so I picked them up thinking I have no idea what I'm going to make with them because I am a boneless skinless thigh person, especially when using the slow cooker. I have tried to make breasts in the slow cooker and I don't know if its just the meat itself or if I just cook them too long but they are ALWAYS dry!
Along with the legs I had bought a bottle of sriracha chili sauce on sale at Superstore the day before ( yay for sales LOL) Ive never cooked with sriracha so I wanted to try something new.
Ingredients:
- 5-6 Chicken Legs ( I'm sure this would make great wings or thighs as well)
- 1/2 cup sriracha chili sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tbsp sodium reduced soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chicken and rib BBQ sauce (or any BBQ sauce you have would be good)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- flour or cornstarch (add as needed for desired thickness) I used about a tbsp of cornstarch diluted in a tsp of water
Instructions:
- Begin mincing garlic, in a mixing bowl combine ingredients including garlic and mix well
- dip chicken in sauce mixture to cover both sides and put in slow cooker, pour remaining sauce over the chicken
- cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours
- I use a turkey baster to continue pouring sauce over the chicken the whole time to keep them saucy...yes, I'm a slow cooker peeker haha but you could use a spoon or just mix the chicken every once in a while
this is what mine looked like after dipping and adding to slow cooker, yummy right!
** I cooked my legs in the oven for 25 minutes beforehand at 425 degrees, because they were frozen and I wanted to take off some of the fat from the chicken, i omitted this step because it doesn't really change much... but if you choose to do this step then cook for 3 hours in slow cooker or as long as you'd like the flavors to marinate for
