1/4 cup of olive oil (or melted butter)
1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup
Instructions:

Prepare the Slow Cooker: Begin by lightly greasing the slow cooker with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Season the Chicken: Place the raw chicken drumsticks into the slow cooker. In a separate bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning, olive oil, and honey or maple syrup.
Coat the Chicken: Pour the seasoning mixture evenly over the drumsticks, ensuring each piece is coated well.
Cook: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. For a quicker option, cook on high for about 3-4 hours.
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the slow cooker and serve. The meat should be tender and easy to pull off the bone.
