Method
Season the chicken drumsticks with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, making sure to coat all sides.
In a saucepan, combine the buffalo sauce, honey, and butter; heat over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth.
If using a slow cooker, place the seasoned chicken in the cooker, pour the sauce mixture over it, cover, and cook on low for 7 hours (or about 60 minutes for a quicker result).
If using the stove, heat a little oil in a pan over high heat, brown the chicken pieces for about 2 minutes per side, then add the sauce mixture, cover, and simmer on low for 45 minutes.
If using the oven, preheat to 350°F (350°F), place the chicken in a baking dish, pour the sauce mixture over it, cover with foil, and bake for 45 minutes; then increase temperature to 400°F (400°F), uncover, and bake an additional 10 minutes until browned.
After cooking, optionally brush the chicken with any remaining sauce, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve with white rice.
