For an even deeper flavor, marinate the chicken drumsticks in the hot sauce and spices for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) before placing them in the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your personal spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste after cooking. If you don't have blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing or a cool yogurt-based dip also work well. To make ahead, cook the chicken in the slow cooker, then refrigerate. Reheat in the oven for best results, or microwave if you're short on time. Consider broiling the chicken for the last few minutes instead of baking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
