It's one of those "shoot myself in the foot" kind of days-- too much going on, and figuring out how to make it happen is giving me a headache. The reality is that even though I have too many places to go, my family needs to be fed. And I'm not in the mood to fork out cash for fast food fries. Luckily, I have an easy recipe for days like this. It's inexpensive and fast and I can put it in the crock pot in the morning and forget about dinner (except that I usually throw a few foil-wrapped potatoes into the oven mid-day).
Gather the following:
1 cup bbq sauce (your choice)
1/3 cup apricot jam/preserves
2 teaspoons mustard
15 drumsticks
I always begin by removing the skins from the drumsticks. It's so easy to do, I figure it takes some of the fat out of the recipe, so it's worth it. Stir the sauce together and pour over the drumsticks in a crockpot. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. After removing the drumsticks to serve, you can boil the remaining sauce in a small saucepan if you'd like to use it for dipping. Here's what it looks like when it's done cooking:
Easy and family friendly, and if you want, you can sneak a few more drumsticks in and double the sauce. If you HAVE to make something on a busy day, make something that doesn't make you want to shoot yourself in the foot.
