Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
- 2 tbsp Sriracha
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 4 to 4 1/2 lb chicken drumsticks
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, chili sauce, Sriracha, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir in ginger and garlic.
- Step 2: Place drumsticks in a large resealable bag. Pour over marinade and seal. Marinate 30 minutes up to overnight.
- Step 3: Pour drumsticks and marinade into slow cooker and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 5 or 6.
- Step 4: When drumsticks are tender and cooked through, preheat broiler to high. Transfer drumsticks to a large foil-lined baking sheet and broil until golden and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.

Notes
Broiling is an optional step, but it really takes them to a whole other level. If starting with frozen chicken legs, defrost them fully, otherwise they won’t absorb much flavor from the marinade.
