Chinese five spice soy sauce chicken drumsticks made in a slow cooker will save you so much time because it just takes a few minutes to prep and then you let the slow cooker do its thing. All you need to round out your meal is rice and a simple side dish of vegetables for a complete meal.
Wash and trim scallions, tear in half, add to slow cooker.
Add garlic, brown sugar, and Chinese 5 Spice powder.
Cook on High for 4 hours for tender, fall off the bone chicken. If you are in a hurry, the chicken is cooked and safe to eat after 2.5 hours but it won't be as soft and tender.
Alternatively, you can cook this dish in a pot. Assemble in the same order, bring chicken to a boil and simmer for in a large covered pot for 30 minutes or until desired tenderness.
Calorie amount is an estimate and based on not eating the skin.
