CROCK POT SUPER GARLIC CHICKEN LEGS



Crock Pot Super Garlic Chicken Legs image

I love garlic, and I love chicken cooked in the crock pot (so tender it falls right off of the bones), so this is a perfect combo of the two. I have some cooking in the crock pot right now, and I am longing for it to be done! :-) I never measure the spices, so these are estimates - please feel free to experiment. It is cooked with loads of garlic, so loving garlic is a plus!

  • Season the chicken thoroughly: Use a generous amount of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to season the chicken legs. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
  • Brown the chicken legs before cooking: Browning the chicken legs in a pan over medium heat will help to develop flavor and add a nice color.
  • Use a slow cooker liner: A slow cooker liner will make cleanup a breeze. Simply lift the liner out of the slow cooker and discard it after cooking.
  • Cook the chicken legs on low for 6-8 hours: This will allow the chicken to cook slowly and evenly.
  • Serve the chicken legs with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for chicken legs include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
