This is a go to recipe for me. My husband loves it. I serve it with buttered egg noodles and green salad. If there are leftovers I debone the chicken legs and toss with leftover egg noodles and mix in the thickened sauce. I use teriyaki sauce in lieu of soy sauce and also skin the chicken legs or thighs.

use thighs instead of drumsticks and remove the skin and it always comes out great

While the chicken is very moist and falls off the bone, I'm not crazy about the taste of the sauce. There's too much soy sauce. Perhaps cutting the soy sauce down would make all the difference.

My kids said this was a "do over". My only question is, what vegetables?

This was DELISH! Everyone loved it! I went with a 1/4 cup soy sauce instead of a 1/2 cup after reading some of the reviews and it was perfect! Will be making again for sure.

This was really good! I ended up making it in the oven because I needed to make a batch larger than the slow cooker would hold but it worked out great. The leftovers were just as good reheated if not better!

I have not made this yet but was wondering what was meant in the recipe when it says: "remove chicken to serving platter and then says remove meat & vegetables to serving platter? What meat & vegetables?

I used less Soy Sauce than what this recipe called for as well per the other viewer's comments. It turned out well and it was a good, easy recipe. The sauce is really good poured over veggies like cabbage and rosemary potatoes, which is what I served with this dish. I would make it again. My picky husband really liked it.

Love this as an economical, easy cook dish when I can get drumsticks for $1/lb. and cook in the slow cooker. Had 4 lbs. and did reduce the soy to 1/4 low sodium. It was very tasty and family loved it. Next time if cooking that much I think I will add a bit more soy and brown sugar.

Unfortunately this recipe is not making it to my "keep" pile. The soy sauce overpowered everything, and we didn't care for the taste.

I made this and followed the recipe to the letter, and it was wonderful!!! My teenaged Daughter loved it! and so did my Husband! I do not think that it was to much soy sauce, and the only change I made was to remove the skin on the chicken.I would not change anything else. I will make this again! I served this with buttered egg noodles and it was Awesome!

I have made this recipe several times. Very good with some changes. First used low sodium soy sauce and cut it down to 1/4 c. also. Then since none of us like that soggy crockpot skin that chicken get, I removed the skin. Even with it made the way the recipe says people went nuts over it!

I make this all the time. Everyone loves it. I don't use drumsticks, I use chicken breasts but it turns out the same.

Made this last night for dinner. I thought it was "okay" but my family LOVED it and already asked when I would be making it next! And yes, the chicken does fall off the bone.

This was not at all good. I cut the soy sauce to 1/4 cup as someone suggested and still the soy flavored overpowered. I did use low sodium soy, but it didn't matter--the taste was yucky. We ended up slathering on the bbq sauce to save the drumsticks.The good thing was, the meat nearly fell off the bone. But I won't make this again. Pretty bad. Should have just used plain ol' bbq sauce from the get-go and saved myself the work of making the thickened sauce that I had to pitch.

Easy to prepare with ingredients already on hand. Only thing I wonder is the amount of soy sauce called for in this recipe -my family found the soy/salty flavor overpowering. I would cut back to 1/4 cup next time, or increase the brown sugar, which I did with the sauce.
