Crock Pot Sticky Chicken Legs

My oldest loves a chicken leg.  I don't know what it is but he gets so excited any time I make chicken legs. These chicken legs had great flavor and were so simple to throw in the crock pot and let cook all day. This recipe was adapted from Mantitlement.

1 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

Place the chicken in the bottom of the crock pot. Whisk together the bbq sauce, teriyaki sauce and honey. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.  Remove from the crock pot and spoon the sauce back over the chicken then serve.
