Ingredients

4 servings

3 lbs chicken drumsticks (about 10–12 pieces)
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper

For the sauce

⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp ketchup
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp cornstarch
Chef's tip
For thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca starch, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens.
1 tbsp cold water

For serving

2 tsp sesame seeds, for serving (optional)
2 scallions, thinly sliced, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker, stacking in two layers if needed.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until combined. Pour the sauce over the drumsticks, turning them to coat.
