    Slow Cooker BBQ Ranch Chicken Legs

    This recipe is a favorite of mine for many recipes, 1. the slow cooker and 2. the chicken legs. These two combined make for a super simple and super cheap dinner.

     My slow cooker is my all-time favorite kitchen appliance. I mean just toss it and forget it, take a nap, and dinner is ready. Does it get any better though? My other reason for this being my favorite is the chicken legs.

    I can always get chicken legs on sale and for cheap! Like really cheap. I usually stock up when I see a sale and then try and find different ways to cook them. Cheap and easy meals, they are a win-win!

    My kids love BBQ sauce. I've even spied my oldest eating his BBQ dipping sauce with a spoon!

    Needless to say, BBQ Chicken is a favorite in our house. I change up the flavor with just adding a packet of ranch seasoning. I then added my chicken legs to the slow cooker and poured the sauce on. Easy as can be!!

    I added green onions to the top really just to make it pretty so you can totally skip that part but I actually LOVE green onions and BBQ and ate it with them on top and it was so yummy!

    Took them off for the kids of course because well they are green. 😉

     BBQ Chicken Drumsticks: This one is my favorite. Making them in the oven but they taste like they came right off the grill. 

    Baked BBQ Chicken: If you need an idea to change up the chicken breast in your house you have to try this recipe. 

    Honey BBQ Chicken Bites: These chicken bites are coated in crunchy cereal and tossed in an amazing sauce.

        Hi Kristy. I don't add any water to this recipe. When the chicken starts cooking it lets out enough water that nothing sticks.
