On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, I made crock pot freezer kits to get me through Christmas. One of the kits was for apricot BBQ chicken wings.
While I was preparing the kits, I put a portion of the apricot BBQ chicken wings in the slow cooker for our dinner that night.
When Hubby tasted the chicken wings, he exclaimed that they were delicious!
I served the chicken wings with potato skins from Sam’s Club. Yummy!
