Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Place the chicken legs in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker in a single layer or slightly overlapped.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, minced garlic, ketchup, soy sauce, ground ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth and combined.
  • Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken legs, turning pieces to coat if needed.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours, or on HIGH for 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Equipment

  • 6-quart slow cooker
  • Medium mixing bowl

Notes

  • Use 8 legs for larger pieces or 12 for smaller pieces to serve 6.

  • Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for more or less heat.
  • Check chicken for doneness; internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
