Ingredients

• 12 pieces Chicken drumsticks
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Ketchup
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, ketchup, minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil until fully combined.

Step 3

Place the chicken drumsticks in the crock pot, then pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring that all drumsticks are coated.

Step 4

Cover and cook on low heat for 4–5 hours or on high heat for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Step 5

Once done, use tongs to carefully remove the drumsticks from the crock pot and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil.

Step 6

Pour the remaining sauce from the crock pot into a small saucepan. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add this slurry to the saucepan and bring the sauce to a boil, whisking constantly, until it thickens (about 2–3 minutes).

Step 7

Brush the thickened sauce generously over the chicken drumsticks.

Step 8

Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning, until the sauce gets sticky and caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the drumsticks from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
