Tomato & soy chicken just like my Aunty Muriel used to make #memories
Serving: 6
Ingredients
- 2kg chicken drumsticks
- 1/4 cup low salt soy sauce
- 1 cup tomato sauce
Instructions
- Add chicken to slow cooker
- Combine sauces and pour over chicken
- Cook on low for 5hrs
- — Notes
- My Aunty Muriel always used this sauce mix to baste whole chickens with for many years, so now the taste takes me right back to childhood memories 🙂
- Today I decided to slow cook it instead with drumsticks but you could also use chicken fillets or wings (reduce time to 3-4hrs depending on your slow cooker)
- If you wish to avoid the liquid that builds up with slow cooking you could also use the tea towel trick (if you will be home) or without it as I did today 🙂

We absolutely loved this recipe. The chicken was so tender and the flavour was amazing!!
Tried this today!!! Loved how only 3 ingredients, so easily yet tasted so good!! I used 3 large “maryland” cuts which fell apart once cooked, served with a creamy mash (cooked in 1.5lt slow cooker) with side vege!! Kids enjoyed this one!! Will add to my make again list ? thank you for sharing recipe!!!
OMG what a brilliant little recipe you have shared with us Paulene ? Really quick prep and minimal ingredients required to make this and the taste is out of this world ??? Only change I made was adding 1 TBS each of crushed garlic and onion flakes and chicken thigh fillets. Cooked on low for 4hrs, stirred 2hrs into cooking time and thought it looked too saucy so popped a tea towel under the lid for the final 2 hrs. Biggest mistake ever…I lost too much of the gorgeous sauce doing this!! We served with rice. Will try with a whole chook next and won’t use a tea towel ? Love this recipe Paulene, it’s a 10 out of 10 from us ??
Hi just wanting to know what size slow cooker to use for 2kg of drumsticks please
Any cooker you can fit that many in is fine 🙂 3L at a push maybe but anything 5L or larger will be fine for sure
So easy and amazing flavour! I used drumsticks and added a teaspoon of minced garlic and some cracked pepper to the sauce. Will make again for sure.
So simple to make and really enjoyed it. I made it with breasts and put it with rice. Lovely ?
What is the tea towel trick ?
Tea Towel Trick
Grandkid arriving today.
I was out shopping and spotted drumsticks on sale.
Walked in the door at home , washed hands and within 3 minutes had this recipe cooking.
It is so tasty and easy .
A great recipe at this busy time of year.
Made this for hubby who has been unwell went down a treat. Will try adding some honey next time I cook this. Thanks for another great recipe.
Delicious! Added sweet chilli sauce. Cooked lovely
Hi making this tonight can’t wait to try it .
How was it Rachel? 🙂
Excited to try this tonight! If using less chicken, should I shorten the cooking time? Thanks!
How much less chicken? What cut of chicken? 🙂
1kg of breast 🙂
1kg of breast will only need around 3hrs low – sometimes 4 in some cookers but it can dry out if overcooked
We love this recipe. It is so tasty AND so easy.
Sorry might seem bit stupid but when you say tomato sauce do you mean like ketchup?
Never stupid to ask what you aren’t sure of. Yes this sauce is ketchup like tomato sauce 🙂
Tried this recipe the other day, didn’t have enough tomato sauce so I substituted with bbq.
Left it in for about 9 hours on low while we were out for the day and when we came back I took the meat off the bone (fell off) and had it with rice. Delicious, will be doing again
I must do it with BBQ sauce too now as I am a BBQ fan more than tomato 🙂
Made this recipe tonight, hubby said ‘ooh make this again it’s really good’. Thank you Paulene for this recipe I definitely will be making again.
I made this recipe for the first
time tonight. I followed the recipe as written and it was lovely. My husband and I loved it. This is going to be one of my staple dishes in future. Thank you
This is a regular family favourite in our household. Everyone loves it. We have served it with mashed potato or salad and both ways are delicious
That’s such great feedback! Thanks Debbie 🙂
