PIN IT!!
These babies are falling off the bone when you take them out of the slow cooker so be careful and use a pair of tongs to remove them. The trick is to not over cook them!! I place them on a foil lined baking sheet that I spray with Pam cooking spay. Then I slather them with some of the extra liquid that is still in the crock pot and broil about 3 minutes on each side.
After about 3 minutes on each side I add chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds on top.
So simple! I have done this with chicken thighs and chicken wings also.
Make this delicious recipe!!!
