Crockpot Smothered Chicken Legs
One of my favorite parts of this chicken recipe is that it’s made right in my crock pot. My crock pot is one of my most used kitchen appliances and makes dinner time with three kids so much easier. While I’m running the kids from practice to practice, dinner is at home cooking all by itself! I can make some of my favorite comfort foods without putting in the time. I just love walking in the door after a busy day and knowing that dinner is already ready and waiting to be served.
Smothered Chicken Legs has become one of our favorite crockpot chicken leg recipes. It’s super easy to make and since drumsticks go on sale quite often, it’s budget friendly. My kids loved and and didn’t even ask to add bbq sauce to their drumsticks like they almost always do.
This crock pot smothered chicken recipe can be prepped first thing in the morning, or you can save time by measuring and mixing the seasonings the night before. The seasoning can be stored in gallon sized zip-lock bag, that way you can easy add the chicken legs or quarters into the bag to coat.
What you’ll need to make Chicken Legs in the Crockpot:
- 1 28 oz can petite diced tomatoes
- 6 red potatoes cubed
- 1 large Vidalia onion sliced
- 2 cups baby carrots
- 4 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 3 tbsp minced onion
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp lemon pepper or black pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 6-8 skinless chicken legs
- Crock-pot (I use a programmable crockpot which switches to warm mode when the food is ready)
Make it a Freezer Meal:
- Turn this easy smothered chicken into a freezer meal for an stress free weeknight dinner. Simply season the chicken drumsticks with the flour mixture and place all of the ingredients into two gallon sized freezer bags. Add the chicken in one, and the potatoes, onions, and carrots in another. Place in the freezer. When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and empty contents into the crockpot. Cook according to directions.
