My brother just stopped by the house for his daily coffee. Now that I’m not in the office 9:00-5:00 I’ve since discovered that my brother treats my family’s home like a Starbucks. Granted we have Starbucks coffee at my house so it kind of makes sense, but there’s at least 5 Starbucks locations between his apartment and my house.
I was lacking inspiration for today’s post so I asked him for some advice. I showed him the pictures to hear his opinion to which he responded “meh”. Which was then followed by “I read your post today…it was okay.” So as retaliation I am posting about what a jerk he is. You’re welcome.
I’m just kidding, he’s only sometimes a jerk, but when it comes to the blog I don’t put much weight in his opinion. He did after all eat McD’s for dinner last night. It’s also incredibly difficult to make meat look as appetizing as baked goods for the record. I told him I was going to post about him today and he told me he’d start a blog where he’d shit-talk The Healthy Maven everyday. Sibling love at it’s finest!
So here’s my recipe for Slow-Cooker Honey Mustard Drumsticks that my brother thinks looks pretty “meh”. The rest of my family on the other hand was smart enough to keep the commentary to themselves so that I would feed these to them for dinner last night. Wise people.
Slow-Cooker Honey Mustard Drumsticks
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 3-4 hours
Ingredients (Makes: 10 drumsticks)
- 10 chicken drumsticks (any kind of chicken would work e.g. breasts)
- 4 T dijon mustard
- 3 T honey
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 T water
Instructions
1. Mix together all sauce ingredients.
2. Add chicken to slow-cooker and coat with sauce.
3. Cook on high for 3-4 hours (will be done after 3 but whenever you can turn it off).
4. Serve warm over rice.
Do you have siblings? Are you as nice to each other as I am with mine?
umm well I think it looks amazing! and I can’t wait to make it! Is your brother older or younger?
I have a younger sister. When we lived at home in our younger yrs we fought alot! After I went away to college I noticed we got along much better when I would come home for the summer. We get along great now! Distance definitely helped us to appreciate each other and grow closer. 🙂
Brothers, what else are they good for? I actually do not have one, so I am just assuming that they are all really annoying. 😉
Nice of him to read your blog, my mom *just* started reading mine so I consider that the biggest accomplishment of the year!
Yum – my boys will love this and I love it because it is a crock pot recipe!!!
Are you kidding? Honey mustard drumsticks sound and LOOK incredible! I get it; siblings version of love can be, uh, sketchy. 🙂 My brothers love honey mustard, so this would be a win with them!
I bet you know sibling love better than anyone 😉
I’m an only child, so this cracked me up. I’ve always wished I had siblings, but I think you just convinced me otherwise. Not if they’re gonna be unsupportive dickheads (sorry Davida’s brother. I don’t really mean that. I just have a fowl mouth). And this looks really good! Mustard is one of my favorite things to bake chicken with, so I’m biased.
My brother is judging your foul mouth.
Will you be my sister? You’d probably be more fun than my two sisters combined!
Uhhh, making this immediately. Dinner for the next few days = done. Thank you for making my life a little easier. 😉
Hehe anytime Christa! Hope you had a nice trip lovely!
Well these sound (and look) absolutely amazing. Haha your brother treats the family home like Starbucks – pure greatness… I mean coffee is an important daily thing, right? 😉
I have to agree! Plus I wouldn’t turn down free coffee either!
At least your brother reads your blog! I can’t say the same for mine. Also, I think this looks delicious and I love any recipe that involves a slow cooker!!
A very valid point! I do appreciate him reading!
meat recipes don’t always look pretty, ESPECIALLY ones from the crockpot, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t delicious! and this looks right up my alley. yummm!
I love using the crockpot! I haven’t tried to make drumstick style chicken in the crockpot, I actually don’t think I have ever cooked drumsticks actually. As for your brother stopping for coffee, I’m sure you are all happy to see him!
