"I am on a crock pot frenzy so I am writing up recipes that I think may be nice--have not tried this yet. I tried this last night, the flavour was wonderful, I made a quick change and added an extra cup of gravy."

• 6 skinless chicken drumsticks

This was tasty and easy to prepare. It was nice to have dinner ready with little preparation in the evening! The bacon gave it nice flavor and since my family loves bacon, I added a couple of extra pieces. I made it with homemade chicken stock and gravy but it would work fine with canned or jarred stock or gravy(just watch the salt). I made this for Spring PAC 2009. Thanks happygurl06!
