How do you make crispy Honey Chinese Chicken?

I will be using this recipe a lot, I have 3 older sons and a son-in-law, chicken legs are easy to eat. And with your sauce, they will be perfect!! The crockpot, double bonus.
Yum, these look so delicious. I have some chicken wings waiting to be used in the freezer – this might have to be it, as sure this would work with wings too, right?
My biggest recent learning experience has been to realize that my new pots and pans new much less heat than the old ones. Lots of adjustments in the cooking temp and times. PS. Your chicken sounds fantastic!
Jade–this is so flavorful! My whole family would love it!
OH YUM!!! THis looks soooo good!
Oh my husband will just love these!
