Slow Cooker Honey BBQ Drumsticks

I was so blown away by these Slow Cooker Honey BBQ Drumsticks! These were so easy and quick to pop into the slow cooker and then they cook all day in spices, BBQ sauce, honey and brown sugar before getting broiled to perfection. I will be making these al l summer long!! The chicken just fell clean off the bone and was full of flavor!
