FAQ
Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of drumsticks?
A: Yes! Bone-in, skin-on thighs work beautifully with this recipe.
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Absolutely. Prepare the sauce and chicken in the slow cooker insert, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Cook the next day.
Pro Tip: Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid while cooking—this keeps the chicken tender and ensures maximum flavor absorption.
