Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and lightly brown chicken drumsticks on all sides. This step is optional but adds flavor.

Place sliced onions in the bottom of the crockpot.

Layer the browned chicken legs over the onions.

In a bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, onion soup mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Pour the mixture over the chicken.

Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through.

If thicker gravy is desired, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir into the crockpot 30 minutes before serving. Let cook until thickened.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
