Notes
For crispier, stickier chicken drumsticks, transfer the cooked chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with additional sauce and broil for 2–4 minutes, watching closely, until the outside is caramelized.
Reduced-sodium soy sauce can be used to reduce the saltiness.
Cooking times can vary slightly depending on the size of the drumsticks and your slow cooker.
