Can i cook this on high for half the time please?
You could try? Just be sure the chicken is cooked through and the sauce doesn’t burn
Do you sear the chicken first?
No I’ll always say so if you need to 🙂
Very easy and tasty ? We all enjoyed it, including my 3 year old. Served it with mashed potato and steamed vegies.
The sauce was a little watery so I removed the drumsticks and kept them warm, to thicken the sauce with a bit of cornflour and water. Will definitely make these again!
can I use whole chicken breasts as we dont eat drumsticks. thanks
Sure you can. I prefer to slow cook with thigh fillets as they tend to be less dry than breast but by all means this recipe will adapt to any chicken cut you prefer 🙂
Sooooooo good, used thigh instead and thickened sauce with cornflour and water mix. A definate regular recipe for us, thanks
Made these for the family, this is a keeper, next time will use thighs. Not a fan of drumsticks but still very yummy.
Thank you for the recipe
Omg… great flavours… used thighs… so tasty
Dinner tonight ? i didnt add the chilli sauce and at the end i chucked chicken in oven to crisp it up a little ? flavours were really nice
This was very nice and next time I will uses thighs and thicken the leftover juices to make a pouring sauce
Cooked this for dinner tonight & hubby & kids loved it, will definitely be making again. I did brown the chicken first & cooked on high for 2 hours then low for an hour & meat just fell off the bone..
Skin on or off of thigh/drumsticks x
Either or is fine 🙂
What do you serve this with?
We serve ours with mash and our fave steamed veg. Rice or even chips would be nice too if you prefer that 🙂
Could you put frozen drumsticks in? How much extra cooking time would you need?
No. Never slow cook from frozen. Here’s why
Very easy to throw together and absolutely delicious! Even got the comment “this was yum!!” by my fussy eater.
So simple to make and simply divine to eat!
Easy and mild dish. kid friendly.
very tasty and simple weeknight meal.
I did take drummies out and put in oven dish. Thickened sauce with cornflour and water, poured over chicken and browned for 15 mins on 180 in oven.
Served with rice and CHANGS noodle salad.
Yum!
Enjoyed this yummy chicken recipe. Followed recipe as written except thickened with a cornflour slurry towards end of cooking and reduced sweet chilli sauce, since Hubby isn’t a chilli fan.
