Crock Pot Maple Dijon Chicken Drumsticks
It’s great having friends who love to cook. I get the best ideas from them, and this recipe is the perfect example. My girlfriend Nalini is an excellent cook, and she was telling me about this chicken recipe she made in the oven for her family. Me of course changed the recipe (I just can’t help myself) I removed the skin from the drumsticks, modified the ingredients and adapted the recipe for my slow cooker. Results – AMAZING! Kids, husband, everyone loved it!! I served this with Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Proscuitto from The Skinnytaste Cookbook (which my 4 year old loves) and everyone was happy.
And since so many are asking, although I have and love my Instant Pot, I still love my slow cooker! I have the 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker (affil link). I love it because you can adjust the time you want it to cook, and it automatically turns to warm when it’s done. It also has a probe for meat that automatically shuts off when done. I hated my old crock pot, it burnt everything and my food had a weird taste. This slow cooker is so great, I actually own several!

Very good! I removed the chicken drumsticks from the crockpot after they were done and put them in the oven at 400F for 10 minutes or so, just to get them a little crispy. I also added 2 tbsp of flour to the left over sauce to thicken it. After the chicken was done in the oven, I drizzled some sauce over it.
Can I use chicken breasts? Also can I make in instant pot?
Yes
WOW!!!! This is so delicious!!!! I had 14 drumsticks so I tripled the sauce and I cooked it on low for 5 1/2 hours. Served over couscous…….absolutely fabulous!!! And SO simple to make!!!!
I think you already addressed this, but it says 96 Carbs per serving. That cannot be correct, right? Is that for the entire 8 drumsticks?
The nutritions facts are per serving where 1 serving is listed as 2 drum sticks.
96 carbs for 2 servings seems like a heck of a lot for 2 drumsticks (1 serving).
Try using sugar free log cabin maple syrup to reduce the carbs.
Wow is this really 96 carbs for 2 drumsticks??
Can this be made in the instant pot?
Anyone try boneless chicken breast? We are not a drumstick I family lol
We did boneless chicken thighs!
