Crock pot hot wings

I just made some amazing hot wings in the crock pot yesterday.

This is what I did:

• put 2 pounds of cut wings into the crock pot.
• chop up an onion and as many fresh garlic cloves as you dare and place them on top of the wings in the crock pot.

Make the sauce:

• melt 1/2 cup of butter in a 1 cup pyrex measuring cup
• pour in worcestershire sauce until the butter is dark brown
• pour in franks red hot sauce and stir until the mixture turns a nice shade of red(keep tasting it until it seems right to you)
• Add in some honey mustard (I used the aldi brand) until it has a Hot, Sweet and tangy flavor.

I needed two batches of sauce to cover my wings.

Cover the wings with the sauce and stir to make sure all the wings are covered and set the crock pot on high for 2 and a half hours. (do not take the lid off to check until at least the 2 and a half hours are up!)

Check and make sure the wings are done by taking out a wing and testing it.

Once the wings are fully cooked separate the wings and the sauce. transfer the the sauce to a sauce pan and boil it down as much as you can and then thicken it back up like you would making gravy. (I used flour, but you might also try corn starch, it came out good with flour)

I came up with this because I could not find any good recipes for hotwings that only used a crockpot.
I wasn't expecting it to turn out so good so that's why I'm posting it to here. The end result is a lot like buffalo wings except its
tender and has a really nice flavor. It is greasy but then so are buffalo wings.
I found the sauce to be so good that I ended up just soaking it into bread rather than wasting it. If you try it let me know what you think.
