Crockpot, smothered chicken legs are such an easy and delicious dinner idea for a busy weeknight.

The meat is fall off the bone good and truly couldn’t be easier to put together.

I can just toss everything in the crockpot and let it do the work for me. It doesn’t get any more simple than that.

This is truly one of those recipes that are impossible to screw up. It requires very little effort as well as cooking skills.

As long as you’ve got the chicken legs, water, and dry gravy packet the other seasoning is gonna be adjusted to suit your taste. So feel free to experiment and use whatever types of seasoning that you’d like. ?

My kids love when I serve them this chicken over a nice big plate of Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes, but you can serve it with whatever you’d like.

We just love the mashed potatoes because it’s soaks up all that delicious gravy.

Instructions

First, add the water to the crockpot and whisk in the gravy packet until it’s evenly combined.

Now, in a large bowl, add the chicken and seasonings.

Then, mix the seasoning into the chicken until it’s evenly coated on all sides.

Next, add the chicken legs to the crockpot side by side.

Now, turn the crockpot to low and set it for 6 hours.
