Tasted like ketchup wings...a disappointment for us. Too bad, the picture makes them look so good!

These were awful. The meat was falling off the bones, but it was overcooked and dry. Even though the sauce had good flavor, I expected a sticky, gooey consistency, but that was not the case.

I was highly disappointed.

Plenty of sweet tangy sauce, fall apart chicken all makes for a great meal for our sports loving sons and their friends. I cut the wing tips off and halved the 'wing' to have 'more' smaller pieces for finger food. Napkins necessary!

I made these for a catering I did and everyone raved about the sauce. I cooked the wings in the oven all the way and then mixed with the sauce in the slow cooker. They were on low for about 3+ hours so the meat was still were falling off the bone, but everyone thought that was great!

So easy and delicious! We had 3 1/2 pounds wings and omitted the liquid smoke.

I make this often. so easy and is one of our favorites. Although, I use it for pork chops and wouldn't hesitate to use it for chicken breasts

The sauce is very good. The wings are definitely the fall-apart kind, not the crispy type. Just beware of that before you make it. I made this for a party, but would probably cook them completely by broiling and then just keep them warm in the crockpot.

The sauce was good, but we like our wings to be crispier. Broiling the wings rendered some of the fat out of the skin, but they were still kind of mushy. Slow cooking does make them fall-apart tender.
