Sweet and Spicy Chicken

Slow cooker meals are the best. I love being able to come home and not worry about dinner. The flavors on this chicken were great! The original recipe is for chicken wings, but there were chicken legs on sale, so I made those instead. The chicken was so tender and I bet it would be delicious with wings!
