How To Make Slow-Cooked Chicken Drumsticks
By KC Kudra
Some recipes will tell you to cook the drumsticks in seasoned flour and then add some liquid and others will tell you to add everything to the slow cooker, perhaps browning the poultry first, and then leave it all to cook. The skin does not go crispy in a crockpot so remove it before you begin.
Barbecue flavor drumsticks are really good and you can make these by combining half a cup of soy sauce with a couple of minced garlic cloves, eight ounces of tomato sauce and quarter of a cup of brown sugar.
Mix this sauce with twelve skinless drumsticks and cook on low for eight hours. This is a really simple recipe and the results are great. You can serve this at a buffet or even as a hot appetizer.
Recipe For Teriyaki Chicken Drumsticks
This recipe gives your poultry an authentic Asian flavor and you can use this sauce for pork instead of chicken if you prefer. These are nice served hot from the slow cooker or chilled. When they finish cooking the meat is falling off the bone so giving them half an hour in the refrigerator might be a good idea if you are serving them as finger food, as the meat will hold on to the bone better when they are cold.
What You Need:
- 25 skinless chicken drumsticks
- 1 bottle thick teriyaki sauce
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons Chinese five spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
How To Make It:
Stir the spices together, then roll the chicken in the mixture and add them to the slow cooker. Cook for six hours on low. Add six tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce over the top, then cook for an hour more. Transfer the cooked chicken on to a serving platter and drizzle some more sauce over the top.

What is the Cooking Time for Meatloaf - How long do you cook meatloaf in the oven
So you are planning to make meatloaf for dinner tonight?
There is a question that I have received several times from ambitious home cooks:
What is the Cooking Time for Meatloaf? or How long do you cook meatloaf in the oven?
So I decided to dedicate an entire post that includes instructions along with delicious recipe that will answer the above question. I have also included a few videos that covers a few other methods for cooking meatloaf.
This is a very common question, but it really does depend on how many pounds your meatloaf is and the temperature at which you are cooking it.
Meatloaf, when prepared the right way, is a delicious dish. It should be firm, but juicy and should not break apart when you slice it.
In this post, I will provide you with a wonderful recipe and instructions for cooking the best meatloaf you will ever sink your teeth into.
Meatloaf is usually cooked two different ways: either in a bread pan or on a cookie sheet.
The bread will give you a juicer meatloaf and is much easier to prepare as the meat takes the shape of the bread pan.
The cookie sheet method will not be as juicy and you will have to put a little more effort into shaping the meatloaf and get your hands dirty.
I like to cook my meatloaf Italian Style. This is the way my Grandmother made it and she passed her recipe on to my Mother, and my Mother passed it on to me. It is by far the best meatloaf recipe in my opinion. It is much more flavorful then your basic meatloaf recipe.
