Best Crock Pot Chicken Legs | Only 5 Minutes of Prep Time!

[@christinepearce2915]

I decided to get my crockpot out of mothballs and try this recipe. I have not had much luck in the past with crockpot chicken recipes. I was glad I took the chance with this recipe. For those worried about not adding any liquid, don't. When done, there was a small amount of a delicious sauce that came from the juices of the chicken and the rub, which I poured over the chicken legs before serving. Like some, I was worried that 4 hours on low would not give it enough time to cook through, so I started out on high for 2 hours and then turned it down to low for the last 2. They came out perfect. We are not fans of chicken skin, so I removed it before serving. Even my husband, who pretty much hates chicken, said he liked it and would eat it again. I will definitely make this chicken again.

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

That's SO AWESOME, Christine! Yay for a new dish on the rotation ❤️ So happy it made the cut!

[@nickthatrick4262]

How can someone hate chicken 😂😂

[@christinepearce2915]

@@nickthatrick4262 My husband grew up poor, and they used to raise and kill their own chickens. I won't get into the gory details. I think it might stem from that. He doesn't hate it, but there are other things he would rather have. With the price of meat, lots of hamburger and chicken now in our house.

[@VeronicaSm282]

​@@nickthatrick4262 I hated chicken for years because I had to watch them take them apart. The smell used to get to me badly.

[@bill2uok753]

I put mine under the broiler for 3 or 4 minutes on low so they would be crispy. Then I followed your recipe! Beautiful! Nothing makes me happier than a woman cooking in the kitchen. I loved helping my mother. Truly a traditional woman. Great recipe, thank you.

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Great idea! So glad you enjoy my content :)

Thank you!

[@natalienat7220]

Oh my goodness!! I can't believe how easy this was. I didn't add any water like her and slow cook it for 8 hours in the crock pot since I was going to be at work. I used the avocado oil and used my own seasoning, and it was so good. My family enjoyed it 😊😍👍

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Loved getting to read this. Thank you for sharing Natalie!

[@ronk2974]

Great. Just got a crockpot and still learning how to use it to cook different stuff. And the smile makes it even easy to follow along.

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Thank you so much, Ron! ☺️

[@stuckhere90]

Super easy and absolutely delicious. I used avocado oil and followed the directions to a T. I cooked in the slow cooker for 4 hours on low setting. Be safe and make sure to use a thermometer to make sure that the internal temperature of the chicken is at least 165℉. Enjoy!!!!!

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

That's awesome! Thank you so much for letting me know!

[@badcaseofstripes]

Thanks for the simple, short recipe. I forgot we even had a crock pot until the cold started setting in, and everyone's craving stew and roasts. The family always loves my chicken in the air fryer, but it can only fit 4 legs at a time. So this will be much easier, to cook a whole pack of legs. Gonna try this tonight with homemade spicy chili sauce, honey, and garlic! Let's see how it turns out!

[@frenchie1750]

This dish was a hit with my family! This will be in my weekly meal rotation. Super simple, quick, set it and forget it meal. Big win since it’s also Keto / Low Carb. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Thanks young lady. I will make this for my wife and I.

[@sarinahartzog3805]

I made this the other night it was bomb!

[@kennyrippy]

I love the recipe and the only thing I would probably let my rub stay on the chicken overnight in the refrigerator and then I let it come up to room temperature and then I would put it in the crock pot and when it's done I would put it over in my deep fryer for at least for maybe 5 minutes and that way it would Chrisp up skin God bless yà with ❤ Ken.
