How to make slow cooker root beer chicken wings.

• Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
• Place chicken wings in the slow cooker. Pour all but 1/2 cup of the sauce over the wings.
• Pour the root beer over wings.
• Cook on high for 2 hours
• Remove wings and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Brush the extra sauce over top and sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar over each wing.
• Broil or grill for 3-5 minutes until caramelized.

These chicken wings are so good and so easy anybody can make them. Making them in the slow cooker is a great time-saver, but I recommend throwing them under the broiler or even on the grill, to get some char on them.
