Ingredients
-
3 to 3½ pounds chicken drumsticks (about 8–10 pieces), with skin or without
-
1 (16-ounce) bottle poppy seed salad dressing
-
1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
-
½ cup sour cream
-
½ teaspoon salt (if you want)
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper (if you want)
-
Chopped fresh parsley, to sprinkle on top (if you want)
Poppy Seed Chicken Drumsticks: Directions
-
Spray a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker lightly with cooking spray so it’s easy to clean.
-
Dry the chicken legs with paper towels. Take off skin for less fat, or keep it for more flavor like old Amish recipes.
-
Put chicken legs in a flat layer at the bottom. They can overlap a bit, but keep them even for good cooking.
-
In a bowl, mix poppy seed dressing, chicken soup, and sour cream until smooth. Taste and add salt or pepper if needed.
-
Pour the mix over the chicken. Spread it so every piece gets covered well.
-
Put on the lid. Cook it on LOW flame for 5 to 6 hrs, or HIGH flame for 2½ to 3 hrs. Chicken should be soft and hit 165°F inside.
-
Stir the sauce around the chicken. For thicker sauce, cook lid off on HIGH 15–20 more minutes, or boil some on the stove.
-
Move chicken to plates. Spoon lots of sauce on top. Add parsley for pretty color.
-
Serve hot with sides like rice, noodles, or potatoes—and extra sauce!
