Slow Cooker Tips
Tip #1: Be sure to spray your crockpot with non-stick spray before adding ingredients. The honey has a lot of natural sugar, so it sticks easily to any surface. Alternatively, you could use a crockpot liner to save on cleanup afterward!
Tip #2: Broiling the chicken before slow cooking adds flavor and color; you can skip this step to cut on preparation.
Tip #3: Preheat your broiler before adding your chicken so you can get the great color, but not overcook the wings before slow cooking.
