Chicken Wings with Spicy Chili Sauce

I am a slow cooker lover and willing to try new and unusual things. This was horrid. I let the chicken sit over night in the marinade (which already didnt smell right - but hey, who knows) and cooked per the directions. Gross. From a Southern Living Slow Cooker Cookbook. very disappointing.

In the picture these wings were either grilled or broiled off. I think that would be a better way to cook these, especially as wings in a slow cooker are soft and mushy, not crispy, which would be what makes them so enjoyable. My son even bakes or grills carry out wings more at home often, as they are sometimes not crisp enough, or soften as you bring them home.
