I receive weekly emails from America's Test Kitchen. Each email contains links to video's, product reviews, helpful hints and recipes. The slow-Cooker Sticky Wings recipe jumped out at me in a recent email. However, I hate wings. Too much effort and too little meat just so unsatisfying. Slow cookers are OK, but I prefer my pressure cooker. I morphed this recipe to our taste.
At dinner I was told I should have doubled the recipe that there was not enough and next time make additional sauce for dipping. The chicken was perfectly moist, love that pressure cooker!
