Instructions

  1. Place chicken drumsticks in the crockpot, arranging them in a single layer if possible.

  2. Pour chicken broth and melted butter evenly over the drumsticks.

  3. Sprinkle all the seasonings evenly over the chicken.

  4. Cook on high for about 3 hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

  5. Optional: For extra flavor and a little crisp, place the cooked drumsticks under a broiler or in an air fryer for 3 to 7 minutes.

  6. Optional: If you desire a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir it into the crockpot during the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking and allow it to thicken.
