Sticky Crockpot Drumsticks

A Favorite Recipe from Amy Foster at Gilcrist Farms.  We like to serve this with rice and vegetables and the leftovers the next day are even better.    

Sticky Crockpot Drumsticks

• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. paprika
• 2 tsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. thyme leaves
• 1 tsp. white pepper
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 4 lbs. chicken drumsticks, or leg quarters
• 1 chopped onion

In a small bowl, thoroughly combine salt and all the spices. Rinse drumsticks and pat dry with paper towel. Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, skin side and bone side, making sure it is evenly distributed and pressed down deep into the skin. Place in a re-sealable plastic bag, seal, place in a baking pan to catch any drips, and refrigerate overnight.  (You can skip the overnight chilling and just put the meat in the crockpot.)  Place the onions in the bottom of a 4 quart crockpot and top with the chicken and spices. Cook on LOW for 4-8 hours until very tender. Serves 8-10.  From  Busycooks.about.com   Enjoy!
