  1. Hello! I’d love to make this for dinner tomorrow. How many people does this serve?

    • Hi, Mio! It depends on how many wings you use and whether you are serving them as a meal or appetizer, but it generally serves around 4 to 6 people.

  2. Do these turn out crispy or chewy/softer?

  3. This was disgusting. The wings were mushy and bland. Both my fiancee and I had one wing and were done. Wings DO NOT belong in the slow cooker

    • Hi, Sarah! I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the wings. They do have a different texture than wings baked or fried. I love them just as much and wish they had turned out better for you.
