This Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Sticky Chicken is an easy, comforting dish that delivers big flavor with almost no effort. Chicken drumsticks slowly cook in a simple blend of soy sauce, honey, and garlic, creating tender meat coated in a glossy, sweet-savory glaze. The long, gentle cooking time allows the sauce to soak deeply into the chicken, giving every bite rich flavor and fall-off-the-bone texture. With only a handful of ingredients and minimal prep, it’s perfect for busy days when you still want a satisfying homemade meal.
To serve, pair the sticky chicken with steamed jasmine rice or fluffy mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. Add a fresh side like cucumber salad or steamed broccoli to balance the sweetness with crisp, light textures. If you prefer a thicker glaze, simply simmer the leftover sauce briefly before drizzling it over the chicken. The result is a well-rounded, crowd-pleasing meal that feels special but couldn’t be easier to make
