With minimal preparation and a few hours in the slow cooker, you can enjoy tender, juicy chicken drumsticks coated in a delicious barbecue sauce. This recipe is sure to become a family favorite, making weeknight dinners and gatherings a breeze. Let’s dive into the details of this easy and flavorful recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

To make these delectable Slow Cooker Sweet Baby Ray’s Chicken Drumsticks, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 pounds chicken drumsticks (about 8-10 drumsticks)
• 1 bottle (18 ounces) Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce (or your favorite BBQ sauce)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare the Chicken Drumsticks: Start by rinsing the chicken drumsticks under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. This helps remove any excess moisture and allows the sauce to adhere better.
2. Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir well to create a smooth, flavorful sauce.
3. Coat the Drumsticks: Place the chicken drumsticks in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour about half of the barbecue sauce mixture over the drumsticks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the drumsticks marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. For best results, marinate in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
4. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
5. Add the Sauce: Pour the remaining barbecue sauce mixture over the drumsticks, making sure they are well-coated. The sauce will thicken and become more concentrated as it cooks, infusing the chicken with rich, tangy flavors.
6. Cook the Drumsticks: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken drumsticks should be tender and cooked through, with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
7. Finish and Serve: Once the chicken drumsticks are fully cooked, carefully remove them from the slow cooker and transfer to a serving platter. If desired, you can brush the drumsticks with additional barbecue sauce for extra flavor and a glossy finish.
8. Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish the drumsticks with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and a hint of freshness. Serve the Slow Cooker Sweet Baby Ray’s Chicken Drumsticks with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.

Tips and Variations

• Crispy Option: If you prefer a crispy finish, place the cooked drumsticks on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and caramelized.
• Spicy Twist: Add a teaspoon of chili powder or a few dashes of hot sauce to the barbecue sauce mixture for a spicy kick.
• Storage: Store any leftover drumsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Bread has been a staple in human diets for thousands of years. It’s a symbol of nourishment, comfort, and tradition. However, in today’s fast-paced world, not everyone has the time to wait for dough to rise and bake in an oven. That’s where this incredible recipe comes in – bread in just 10 minutes, without an oven! This method is not only quick and easy but also results in the most delicious bread you’ve ever tasted. Perfect for beginners and experienced bakers alike, this recipe will revolutionize your kitchen routine.

Ingredients

• 17 oz (480 g) plain flour
• 7.8 oz (220 g) white yogurt
• 6.8 fl oz (200 ml) water
• 2 teaspoons (10 g) baking powder
• 1 teaspoon oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3.5 oz (100 g) butter
• Parsley (to taste)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the Dough

Start by pouring the white yogurt into a large mixing bowl. Add 200 ml of water and 1 teaspoon of salt, then whisk everything thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, thin liquid. This mixture serves as the base for your dough.

Next, sift plain flour through a fine sieve to ensure there are no lumps. Gradually add the sifted flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the yogurt mixture. Mix with your hands until you form a cohesive and slightly sticky dough.

Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the dough and continue kneading. The oil helps to make the dough more manageable and prevents it from sticking to your hands and the bowl. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, forming it into a round loaf.

2. Shaping the Dough

Sprinkle a little plain flour on your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Lightly flour the surface of the dough and use your hands to spread it into a flat pancake. Divide the dough into two equal pieces.

Roll each piece out with a rolling pin and then cut each into five smaller pieces, giving you a total of ten dough portions. Shape each portion into a small ball. Place these dough balls on a floured plate and cover them with cling film to prevent them from drying out as you work.

3. Rolling the Pancakes

Take one dough ball, dust it with a bit of plain flour, and flatten it with your hands. Use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin pancake with a diameter of about 10 to 12 centimeters. Set it aside and repeat the process with the remaining dough balls. Ensure the unused dough balls are covered with cling film to keep them moist.

4. Cooking the Bread

Heat a dry, shallow pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, place as many of the rolled-out dough pancakes as can fit without overlapping. Let them cook for about a minute. When the dough starts to harden, flip them to the other side. As they cook, the pancakes will begin to puff up and form fluffy loaves.

Continue to move and turn the pancakes in the pan to ensure they cook evenly and don’t burn. Once they are golden brown and cooked on both sides, remove them from the pan.

5. Finishing Touches

Melt the butter and mix it with freshly chopped parsley. Generously spread this mixture on both sides of each cooked pancake. The butter adds richness, while the parsley provides a fresh, herby flavor that complements the bread perfectly.

Serving Suggestions

These quick and easy bread patties are incredibly versatile. Serve them warm as a side to soups and salads, use them as a base for sandwiches, or enjoy them on their own with a bit of honey or jam. They are perfect for any meal of the day and can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days, making them a convenient option for busy schedules.

Conclusion

This 10-minute bread recipe is a testament to how simple ingredients and quick methods can produce extraordinary results. Whether you’re a novice cook or an experienced baker, this recipe will become a go-to in your kitchen repertoire. Not only is it fast and easy, but it’s also incredibly tasty and versatile, ensuring that you always have fresh, homemade bread at your fingertips.
