Spicy Crock-Pot Chicken Wings

Max Thames's Note:

I love traditional "buffalo" wings, but like to try new ways to make them. I found this recipe on Southernfoods.about.com (supposedly one of Zaar's competitors but not in my view). I screened the wing recipes on Zaar's site but didn't find any duplicates. I know you'll like the simplicity and taste of this wing variation as much as we did.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins

These were so good! I added some extra Tabasco sauce but that was the only change I made. The chicken meat was so tender it was falling off the bones. I am going to try this using Franks Hot Sauce to make spicy wings. Thanks for a great recipe!

NUM!!! Took these to a pot luck and enjoyed the left overs for lunch today. The extra sauce gave zip to the rice I fixed for dinner tonight. Great recipe. Nancee

we loved these wings! I took off the "fatty" skin when I cleaned them and after broiling them, there was very little fat left. Cooking them in the crockpot with the sauce made them so flavorful, but not greasy at all! Will be making these again soon!
