Description

Ingredients
•
3/4 cup ketchup
•
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
•
2 tablespoons brown sugar
•
2 tablespoons minced garlic, or to taste
•
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
•
2 tablespoons white vinegar
•
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
•
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
•
2 teaspoons salt
•
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
12 (4 ounce) bone-in chicken drumsticks, with skin
Directions
1
Mix ketchup, onion, brown sugar, garlic, vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
2
Place chicken drumsticks in a slow cooker and drizzle sauce over top. Cook on High for 3 hours.
3
When the 3 hours are almost up, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4
Transfer chicken and sauce to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
5
Cook in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone, the juices run clear, and the skin is browned, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
