Step 3 — Add Everything to the Slow Cooker
Place the chicken drumsticks in the slow cooker.
Pour the sauce over the top, making sure every piece gets coated.
Use a spoon or tongs to toss gently if needed.
Step 4 — Slow Cook to Tender Perfection
Cook on:
- Low for 6–7 hours or
- High for 3–4 hours
The chicken will become incredibly tender, soaking up every bit of flavor from the sauce.
Step 5 — Thicken the Glaze
Once the chicken is done:
- Transfer the drumsticks to a plate.
- Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a small saucepan.
- Mix the cornstarch and water, then stir it into the sauce.
- Heat on medium until it turns thick and sticky, about 3–5 minutes.
This step creates that shiny, restaurant-style glaze.
Step 6 — Glaze and Broil (Optional but Excellent)
Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet.
Brush the thickened sauce over the chicken generously.
Broil on high for 3–4 minutes to caramelize the edges.
This adds a slight crispiness and deep, sticky flavor.
Step 7 — Garnish & Serve
Drizzle extra sauce over the drumsticks and top with:
- sesame seeds
- sliced green onions
Serve with rice, noodles, or steamed veggies to soak up the delicious glaze.
