Notes
The dry ranch seasoning packet can be swapped with any seasoning packet of your preference. My second favorite packet to use with this recipe is a Rosemary Chicken Seasoning.
The chicken legs can be replaced with chicken thighs, breasts, wings or tenderloins.
Coat the drumsticks in crockpot with your family's favorite sauce instead of dipping into sauce. This is how you can easily turn this recipe into bbq chicken legs.
Make this recipe spicy by adding red pepper flakes to the ranch seasoning mix.
Place the chicken legs in the slow cooker in alternating directions to save on space.
Leave the skin on the legs to keep the chicken juicy.
Store up to 3 days in the fridge.
Store up to 3 months in the freezer.
