How to make Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Legs:
Step one: Get started with the seasonings. Mix all of the dry seasonings together and then rub each chicken leg with seasoning and place in the slow cooker.
Step two: Next add in just 1 cup BBQ sauce on top and place lid on slow cooker. Use a brush to make sure all chicken is coated with bbq sauce
- Tip: I do not ad any more liquid to this recipe. The water coming from the chicken along with the BBQ sauce is more than enough. I have tested this recipe with chicken broth and it came out too soggy and soupy.
How long to cook chicken legs in the slow cooker:
Step three: Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours or until chicken is cooked through.
