*** Rick's Recipe of the Month ***

"Crock Pot Chicken Wings"



You know how I just love to use my crock pot for cooking on the weekends. Just throw some stuff in there and let it cook all day, and by supper time the whole house smells absolutely wonderful. This recipe is so easy and sooooooo good, and you can use any cut of chicken or even try it with pork. It's all good...!!!!

Ingredients
* 5 pounds chicken wings
* 2 cups brown sugar
* 1 cup French's mustard
* 4 tablespoons soy sauce

Preparation

Cut each wing into 3 pieces, throwing away the tips. Brown in skillet until golden brown and put in slow cooker. Turn cooker on low heat. Mix brown sugar, mustard, and soy sauce in saucepan and heat until it becomes liquid. Pour over the wings and cook 6 - 8 hours.

The chicken just falls off the bone and it does have a great taste. This one is sure to be a family favorite.


Ummmm, Ummmm....!!!!!
