Fourth of July is right around the corner. I have so many fond memories of spending the day with family friends at the local town celebration. Parade, amusement rides, lots of delicious food and of course, fireworks. No wonder, it was my favorite holiday!
This recipe for Crockpot Chicken Drumsticks gives a delicious slow cooked, off the BBQ taste with just a few minutes of prep! They can cook away while you are out and about enjoying the festivities and just before it’s time to serve them, broil them on both sides for a delicious meal.
