A great family dinner during the work week is not impossible! Just because a recipe is quick, doesn’t mean that it’s not delicious. These Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Drumsticks served with Mashed Potatoes is a comforting meal that feels like Sunday Dinner. With only 10 minutes of prep work in your kitchen, you can sit back and enjoy after a long day.
Chicken is a family favorite at our house, and I love trying new ways to make it. Putting your Slow Cooker to work here really makes this recipe extra simple.
Get started by placing all of your seasonings into a large plastic container with a lid. Add your chicken drumsticks, put the lid on and shake it up! Your chicken will be perfectly seasoned and with no mess!
Lightly grease your slow cooker, add the seasoned chicken and then drizzle it with your favorite BBQ sauce. Continue by adding another layer of chicken and sauce before using the back of a spoon to spread it evenly across the top.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. That’s it!
When I think about chicken for dinner, I always think about potatoes. NEW Idahoan Signature Russets are a convenient way to prepare mashed potatoes for your side dish fast! These mashed potatoes are so delicious that when served as part of a weekday dinner, they make “any day taste like Sunday!”
These are also ready to serve in only 5 minutes!
Idahoan Signature Russets mashed potatoes are made with real potatoes (more than 6 lbs. of premium Idahoan russet potatoes in every 16 oz. pouch), a little butter, a little cream and are the perfect side dish to go along with any meal.
When your chicken is finished cooking, serve it with these light, fluffy and smooth mashed potatoes along with a fresh steamed vegetable for a well rounded weeknight dinner. Yum!
