I like to keep chicken drumsticks on hand at all times.  I buy them in bulk when they go on sale for less than a dollar a pound.  I peel the skin off and freeze them individually so that when I am ready to cook, I can just pull out however many I need.  I keep them on hand for days when I don't have a meal planned for whatever reason, or I need something easier or faster than what was planned because something came up.  I like to throw them in the slow cooker, topped with a sauce of some kind.  I have a few different sauces, and this is one of my favorite.  I got it from Taste of Home.


Slow Cooker Soy Garlic Drumsticks


Ingredients:
8 chicken drumsticks, skinned
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 tbsp cornstarch


Directions
Place chicken in slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic; pour over chicken. Toss chicken to coat.  Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.


Remove chicken from slow cooker and set aside.  Pour cooking liquid out into a small saucepan.  Add cornstarch to a small amount of cold water and stir.  Pour into the cooking liquid.  Bring to a boil until thickened.  Place chicken and cooking liquid back into slow cooker and cook for another hour or until chicken is tender.


Makes 4 servings.

The original recipe didn't call for thickening the cooking liquid, but I really like doing that.  It makes the sauce cling to the chicken better and it's really good drizzled over the rice.

This is one of my go-to easy dinners.  And it's great in the summer because I don't have to heat up the kitchen by turning on the oven.  Just a good recipe to have in your arsenal, so to speak!

  3. The only problem I see with this Braun Series 7 is that it is quite expensive for
    most. Problem is now solved Braun Series 7, which uses pulse technology (sending the 10,000 micro-vibrations to shave her head every minute, lifting unruly
    hair), Gillette Blade Technology (provides accurate high speed), as well as a significant turn your head (the entrance of the slide

  5. Adjustable dumbbells cost closer to six hundred dollars while a sufficient
    set of traditional dumbbells can be purchased for less than four hundred
    dollars. Decades ago when some American coaches saw what
    their superior Baltic counterparts were training their athletes
    with for certain strength competitions, they began slowly to incorporate kettlebells into their programs.

  6. An electric toothbrush is motorized and usually battery-operated with
    a charger that sits on the bathroom counter. Unscrew the toothbrush from the base, and rinse both pieces thoroughly, inside and out.
    The other thing I find annoying is the lack of a counter stand to hold the electric toothbrush.

  7. Surely our scientists know more about chemistry that nature does, so surely they should
    be able to come up with some far better for our skin than any of these natural oils and butters
    you read about. Go Organic. One of the products I bought is
    the Rooting Bear Rub.

  9. The reflected heat can be felts several yards in front of the heater itself.
    Keep all combustible materials away from portable and space heaters.
    The HZ-7200 is rated at 1500 watts using your household 120 volts but I used a watt meter and was reading a lower wattage which is typical for all appliances.
