Spicy Hot Chicken Legs

I have always loved the taste of Spicy Chicken Wings with the blue cheese sauce, but don't really like chicken wings since they are so bony with little meat and seems to be all skin which totally grosses me out.

Chicken drumsticks are my favorite and I'm thrilled to have found this recipe! Why didn't I think of this?

Another thing I love is that this is a slow cooker recipe . . . throw in all the ingredients, turn it on and walk away!!  Cooking really doesn't get easier and the resulting aroma is an added benefit.

Please note that if you like crispier chicken, bake them in the oven at 400 degrees for the last 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• 12 chicken drumsticks 
• 1 (5 ounce) bottle hot red pepper sauce 
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed 
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 
• salt and pepper to taste 
• 1 1/2 cups blue cheese salad dressing 

Directions

Put the chicken in a slow cooker and top with with pieces of butter.

Add the hot sauce over the chicken.

Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. 

Set slow cooker on high, cover and cook for 3 hours or until tender.

Serve chicken with the blue cheese dressing on the side. 

For crispier chicken, bake in a 400 degrees F oven for the final 30 minutes.
