About

Easy-Peasy Peachy Barbecue Chicken is barbecue without the grilling, but never lacking in flavor! Savory, fatty, dark meat chicken drumsticks are slow-cooked to tender juiciness, so you can set it and forget it! Moreover, it cooks the chicken in a tangy, thick, sweet barbecue sauce you'll want to lick from your fingers. Easy-Peasy Peachy Barbecue Chicken takes no effort at all, so you can get the cookout started while barely lifting a finger... until it's time to dig into these drumsticks, that is.
