Frequently Asked Questions

Question?

Can I use bone-in chicken wings for this recipe?

Answer.

Yes, you can use bone-in chicken wings, but make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Bone-in chicken will take longer to cook through, so add an extra hour to the cooking time.

Question?

Can I use a different type of sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup, instead of the teriyaki glaze?

Answer.

No, it's best to use the teriyaki glaze as it provides a unique and balanced flavor profile. However, if you prefer a different sweetener, you can try using a mixture of honey and soy sauce as a substitute.

Question?

Can I make this recipe in a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot instead of a Crockpot?

Answer.

Yes, you can make this recipe in a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, but you'll need to adjust the cooking time and temperature accordingly. Cover the pot with a lid and cook in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the peaches are caramelized.
