Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Legs is a quick and easy meal from crockpot. The result is the fall of bone-in chicken with a delicious layer of garlic sauce and sticky sweet honey.
While I love the ease and convenience of a great year-round slow cooker recipe, it’s at this time of year that my slow cooker really gets worked out. With every meal ready when I walk through the door after a long day, I remember why the slow cooker is the most commonly used little appliance in my home.
Our calendars are getting more and more full of tasks and the days are getting colder, so the convenience of a slow-cooked meal is more than welcome. It’s good that most of my easy recipes are made in the clay pot. Let’s call this month Crocktober!
Some of my favorite recipes are clay pot recipes, and specifically a slow
cooker chicken
recipe.
A couple of examples are our Slow Cooker butter chicken and Slow Cooker Mississippi Chicken and Potatoes.
I have many of these in our recipe box, because it’s an easy meal that the whole family enjoys. Yes, even that picky eater.
While I choose boneless chicken without skin so often, I love this recipe for being the best slow cooker drumstick recipe. They’re so good, that every time I pass through this area of the grocery store, I think of these clay pot chicken legs, and I start craving that delicious garlic and honey sauce.
Chicken recipe with
honey
and garlic
However, this particular recipe of chicken with garlic and slow cook honey really stands out for its excellent taste. This delicious meal quickly became a favorite of the whole family.
You’ll probably already have most of the simple ingredients for this great recipe in your pantry, possibly with only a few to get from the grocery store. This makes this recipe a simple and inexpensive meal to make. With just 15 minutes of preparation time, it’s a recipe you can include in your morning routine before heading out for the day.
My advice is to prepare the slow cooker in the morning while the kids have breakfast and pack their lunches. In a matter of minutes your dinner is ready and begins to cook.
So, there’s really nothing like coming home with the most intoxicating smell that is honey and garlic sauce and a meal ready and waiting for you to eat it. I think I love this recipe of chicken with honey and garlic from clay pot, for the delicious sauce.
Best of all, this clay pot chicken thighs recipe produces enough of that sticky sweet sauce you’ll want to spoon on everything! There will even be plenty of extra sauce when you enjoy the leftover chicken the next day.

While it’s optional to use chicken feet/thighs or thighs for this garlic chicken recipe and cooker honey, there’s one particular type to look for when you’re at the grocery store.
