I love traditional "buffalo" wings, but like to try new ways to make them. I found this recipe on Southernfoods.about.com (supposedly one of Zaar's competitors but not in my view). I screened the wing recipes on Zaar's site but didn't find any duplicates. I know you'll like the simplicity and taste of this wing variation as much as we did.

Allow the wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. 3. Use a Slow Cooker Liner for Easy Cleanup: To save time and effort in cleaning, use a slow cooker liner before adding the ingredients. This makes it easy to remove the cooked wings and discard the liner. 4. Control the Heat Level: Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes used in the recipe to control the spiciness of the wings. Start with a smaller amount and gradually increase until desired heat level is achieved. 5. Cook on Low for Tender Wings: Cooking the chicken wings on low for 6-8 hours ensures they become tender and fall off the bone. Cooking on high may result in overcooked wings. 6. Add Vegetables for a Balanced Meal: To make a complete meal, add vegetables such as diced onions, bell peppers, or carrots to the slow cooker along with the chicken wings. The vegetables will absorb the delicious sauce and add extra nutrition. 7. Baste the Wings for Extra Flavor: During the last hour of cooking, baste the wings with the sauce from the slow cooker.
