This is the first time I have cooked chicken wings in the crock pot and must admit to missing the crispiness you get from the oven but these had a lovely flavour from the maple syrup (I used a sugar free one due to dietary reasons) and the whisky and chinese five spice (may up that though) and I cooked for 2 1/2 hour on high and the result was sweet fall of the bone chicken wings that were thoroughly enjoyed with the fresh orange and pineapple on the side and Vegetable Couscous which rounded of the meal. Thank you weekend cooker, made for Please Review My Recipe tag game.
