Let’s talk about the Buffalo sauce for these drumsticks!

The sauce for our drumsticks combines some amazing ingredients to create an awesomely delicious mixture for our chicken. We combine Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wings Sauce with apple cider vinegar, butter, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and pepper to create a savory and delicious sauce. This is a variation of the sauce I use to make my favorite chicken wings! We love the spice level and flavor of Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wings Sauce, but you can use any hot wings sauce you’d like. The other ingredients combine with the hot sauce to make an amazingly delicious wing sauce. This is a medium spicy sauce.

These drumsticks couldn’t be much easier to make! You simply prepare your crockpot by spraying it with some avocado oil spray. Then place your chicken drumsticks in the crockpot. I used 4 pounds of drumsticks which came out to be 12 drumsticks. In a medium saucepan, you’ll want to combine all your sauce ingredients. Stir or whisk to combine and simmer your sauce for about 5 minutes. Then pour the sauce over your drumsticks and stir to combine. I cooked my drumsticks for 4 hours on low heat and they were falling off the bone tender. You’ll want to make sure your chicken is at an internal temperature of 165 degrees before serving. You can serve your drumsticks with the Buffalo sauce either by topping the chicken with some of the sauce or by serving a side of the sauce alongside the chicken.
