5 Ingredient Slow Cooked Chicken

5 Ingredient Slow Cooked Chicken is a simple crock pot meal that your family will love!

My family loves it when I serve chicken legs for dinner. I am not sure why, but they love them more than any other type of chicken I serve.

I am not a huge fan of drumsticks. I prefer other types of chicken, but I do love the price of drumsticks. I can often find them on sale for a great price and when I do I stock up on them.

My family loves my easy slow cooked chicken legs and my slow cooked bbq ranch chicken legs, but I like to change it up and serve the recipe I am sharing today too.

This recipe for 5 Ingredient Slow Cooked Chicken calls for you to marinate it, but you don’t have to. Letting it marinate overnight gives it a better flavor, but if you are short on time or forget to marinate it, it will still work.

I usually make this with chicken legs, but thighs or leg quarters will work too. Just use whatever you like or find on sale.
