ingredients
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3 1/2 pounds chicken legs, skin on
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1 1/2 cup hickory smoke flavored barbecue sauce
directions
Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a ziptop bag. Add the chicken legs to the bag and shake to coat with the seasoned flour mixture.
Melt the shortening in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken legs and brown on all sides. Remove the chicken legs and place in the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the chicken with the paprika and celery seed.
Drizzle the barbecue sauce evenly over the chicken. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is done.
cook's notes
You can remove the skin from the chicken if desired and then skip the flouring/browning step (that's really just to give the skin a nicer texture).
crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

I browned the chicken then tossed with the sauce in a bowl to make sure it was fully covered then put legs and sauce in crock. Cooked on low for 5 hours then they were done.

Delicious recipe. I've done it with both chicken legs and a whole cut up chicken. The chicken is always tender and very flavorful.
