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.
