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 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.

• Spicy Twist: Add a teaspoon of chili powder or a few dashes of hot sauce to the barbecue sauce mixture for a spicy kick.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

▢¼ teaspoon salt

▢¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

▢1 teaspoon garlic powder

▢½ teaspoon dried oregano

▢1 teaspoon smoked paprika

▢½ teaspoon brown sugar

▢1 pound chicken tenderloins

Preparation

Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

How To Reheat Chicken Tenderloins In The Air Fryer:

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the air fryer basket with cooking oil and heat the chicken tenderloins for 2 to 3 minutes until warm throughout.

Pro Tips:

Cook the chicken tenderloins in a single layer, don’t overcrowd the air fryer.

Keep an eye on the chicken while cooking and don’t overcook or they can become tough. Immediately remove chicken from the air fryer once done or they can overcook. My chicken tenderloins took between 10 to 12 minutes to cook, smaller ones will take less time to cook.

The air fryer I used in this recipe was the Instant Vortex Plus, 6 quart.
