My slow cooker has done it again. Moist and tender chicken with no hard work. Sign me up.

I’ve got the perfect weeknight meal for your busy schedule. Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Drumsticks Italian Style has got me like – YUM! A few ingredients and a family gathered around the table, this crock pot chicken drumstick dish is going to win over your hearts and your bellies.

I love when a meal just comes together. Organic chicken drumsticks were BOGO at the store this past week. Winning. Then my father-in-law offered me a bunch of fresh basil from his garden (um….yes, please!). I couldn’t let this deliciousness go to waste. So I pulled out my BFF, the Crock Pot. Oh-Em-Goodness. Throw a bunch of things in a pot and turn it on? Try and stop me. Just try. Sending up a little prayer (hey, our dinner was on the line!), I let the slow cooker do it’s thing. And the results couldn’t be more amazing.

Ready to make your new favorite slow cooker meal? Be sure to save this recipe:

I am NOT a chicken on the bone kind of person.

So when I say that this chicken falls off of the bone like BUTTER, I mean it. So moist and tender and full of flavor (can I just say how much I love fresh basil?), this chicken goes perfectly over a plate of pasta for a winning family dish. Another chicken drumstick crock pot meal added to our list of family recipes! You can definitely freeze and pull this dish out for a later date too.

    I don’t eat a lot of drumsticks or wings, but this sounds like it would be great on chicken breasts as well. I’m always looking for more crockpot ideas.

    Thank you for posting this recipe! So simple and quick to “throw” together but OHHHHH soooo flavorful! I took your suggestion and made tri-colored pasta and took the meat off the bone and added to the sauce in the last 1-1-1/2 hour of cook time! YUM! My family truly enjoyed it!! Will definitely make this again!
