Make Your Own Delicious Buffalo Drumsticks Right At Home
The slow cooking process makes the meat fall right off the bone.
While we all have our own guilty pleasures, few things can compare to a huge plate of well-marinated chicken wings. For anyone who likes to get a little dirty while eating, there’s something fun about using your hands to eat your food, dipping it in the sauce and using multiple napkins throughout the process. And in the end, you get to lick your fingers! Yet, we usually think that the best chicken wings are only available in stores or with special equipment like a sauce spinner.
Luckily, today we have a simple recipe that will allow you to make one of these perfect dishes at home, and it couldn’t be easier to make. As always, we’re going to show you how to make great use of your slow cooker. Today, we’re making a delicious slow cooker version of buffalo chicken drumsticks. Thanks to the slow cooking process, these drumsticks will absorb all the sauce and the meat will fall off the bone when you eat them. How does it taste? Let’s get started.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup of hot sauce (your choice)
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- 4 minced cloves of garlic
- 5 tablespoons of butter, diced into pieces
- 3 pounds of chicken drumsticks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 teaspoon of pepper
Here’s what you do:
1. To start, get out a small mixing bowl and add your cornstarch and apple cider vinegar. Be sure to whisk it together well into a slurry without any lumps left in it! When that’s done, pour it in your slow cooker and add hot sauce, honey, garlic and butter, stirring everything together.
2. With your sauce in the bottom of the cooker, add in your drumsticks and season them generously with salt and pepper. Once the drumsticks themselves are seasoned, mix them around in the wet sauces as well until they’re well-covered.
3. Once they’re ready, cover the slow cooker and let it cook on high for about three hours. After you open it up, check to make sure all the chicken looks well-cooked and that it’s just about fall-off-the-bone tender. If it all looks good, serve as they are with ranch or bleu cheese dressing!
4- As an added bonus, you can take these drumsticks to the next level of crispness and flavor with slow cooking. Once you’ve cooked them for three hours, take out a foil-lined baking sheet. Place the drumsticks on it and drizzle with extra sauce. Roast them in the oven for 15 minutes at 300 degrees to make them even crispier, then serve!
As you can see, you don’t have to go to a restaurant to get professional quality wings. The slow cooker method ensures that the meat will be perfectly cooked and well coated with the sauce of your choice. Although the final baking in the oven makes them crispy (for those who want it), they are also perfect right out of the slow cooker. While our recipe is exclusively for the classic buffalo wings, feel free to experiment with your seasoning and let us know what you think!
