First Time Using Crock Pot = Success!: Sesame Chicken Wings

Ok before all of you question the idea of using a crock pot to make chicken wings, lets just

take some time out to admire the beauty of these wings and their sauce..and the beauty of crock

pots for that matter. Chicken wings are traditionally made by deep frying the chicken first and then adding the sauce and toppings you please. These babies on the other hand, are bathed in a mixture of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and ginger. Then at the end they are topped off with some crunchy and nutty sesame seeds. For one, adding these to the crockpot makes them amazing for two reasons: 1. these chicken wings are much healthier than the fried alternative. 2. they are slow cooked, which gives great time to seal the flavors in and make the chicken tender. When I made these last Friday, I had all the ingredients besides the chicken so this recipe was rather inexpensive to make. Also, letting the slow cooker cook em up was great because I was able to focus on completing my project. From time to time, I tossed the wings in the sauce for an even coating.
