apricot wings

For the month of November, I'm going to try and slow-cook as many of our dinners as possible. Not sure where this idea came from, but the first night went over very well. I've never made wings in a slow-cooker before and I could tell Joe was skeptical but he ended up enjoying dinner after all (win!). If I am out of ideas later this month, this will definitely be a go-to dish. Seriously, if by magic you have all the ingredients in your kitchen now, go prep and make them for tomorrow. I dare you not to eat the whole batch.

Apricot Wings

2 lbs chicken wings
1 cup BBQ sauce
1 jar apricot preserves
1 tsp dry mustard

2. after pre-baking, place wings in slow cooker.


3. mix all other ingrediants in bowl.


4. pour sauce over wings in slow-cook, cook on high 2-3 hours, low 5-6 hours.
