Chef’s Tips for Foolproof Slow Cooking

When cooking with chicken, it's essential to make sure the Crockpot is at the right temperature. This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and stays juicy. Also, be sure to not overcook the onions – you want them to be tender but still retain some crunch.

• 2 pounds raw chicken wings (split party wingettes and drumettes)
• 1 large Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup teriyaki glaze (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Place the chicken wings in the Crockpot.
2. Pile the sliced onions and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
3. Pour the teriyaki glaze over the onions and chicken.
4. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top.
5. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
6. Shred the chicken with two forks and serve hot.

What to Serve With It & Storage Tips
