Free. No account needed.

Method

  1. Grease the crock‑pot insert with a thin layer of oil or butter.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together the all‑purpose flour, Knorr chicken bouillon, and a few splashes of water until smooth to create a gravy base.

  3. Remove the skin from the chicken drumsticks to keep them tender and prevent sogginess.

  4. Place the skinless drumsticks in the crock‑pot and season them generously with chicken seasoning, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and paprika.

  5. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken and add the butter in pats on top.

  6. Cover the crock‑pot and cook on the HIGH setting for about 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and the gravy has thickened.

  7. Serve the chicken legs with mashed potatoes and Southern‑style green beans, spooning the herb‑spiced gravy over the top.
