Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 chicken drumsticks thawed
  • 12 oz buffalo wing sauce 1 jar; Calhoun's or Frank's
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix

Method
 

  1. Arrange the drumsticks in the crockpot, cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours.
  2. Remove the drumsticks and pour off the juices (save them for soups or pasta bakes). Return the chicken to the slow cooker.
  3. Whisk the wing sauce with the ranch dressing mix until smooth and pour over the drumsticks, coating each one.
  4. Cook on HIGH another 30 minutes. Transfer to a platter with tongs; the meat should slide off the bone.

Notes

Save the cooking juices in a mason jar for chicken tortilla soup or a 30-minute pasta bake.
