Sunday Dinner: BBQ Chicken

I'm very much enjoying my weekend right now; mainly because I keep thinking about how I don't have to go to work tomorrow!!! Thanks Pres. Washington and Pres. Lincoln!! 

$6.50 for these drumsticks!

After church today, I decided I wanted to make me a "good ol' fashioned Southern Sunday Dinner". But since I live alone I didn't wanna make TOO much, so I am making a sort of abbreviated Southern Sunday Dinner, I guess: BBQ chicken. And I'm not fryin' or grillin' it, I'm doin' it in the ol' crock. I got what I thought was a good deal on 10 drumsticks(they only cost $6.50) and figured I'd finally try this recipe. The busy crock potting mom over at Slow Cooker Adventures made this recipe with thighs but I prefer drumsticks so that's what I used.

This was also my 1st chance to try out my Butt Rub that I bought ages ago! And I got to use Stubbs Spicy BBQ Sauce and any reason to use that stuff make me all happy and excited haha.

THE GOOD STUFF!!

This meal's cookin in the crock pot as I type this(and it smells absolutely yummy) so I'll finish typing this when it's finished and give it an overall rating. I'm serving the chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and either a side salad or some corn, I can't decide yet.

5-7 chicken drumsticks
 1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce--I used STUBBS bc it's DA BOMB!
your preferred meat rub--I used Butt Rub

Pre heat oven to 400. Rub your chicken well with the rub on both sides. Put chicken in the oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through to really seal your rub into the meat on both sides.

Just rubbed my chicken down.

put your chicken in the crock. Pour sauce all over each piece of meat(I ended up using almost all of my bottle of Stubbs).

Cook on LOW for 5-7 hours, depending on your size of meat.

This turned out very very well. The meat was moist and fell off the bone! The taste was just ok, not as strong as I prefer but I also think I put too much sauce in. Too much sauce let to too much liquid and so it got kinda watery I think. But overall it was good and I had it with mashed potatoes and salad.

OVERALL RATING FOR THIS DISH: GOOD!
