These are so delicious. Can you imagine having these in your crock pot for 8 hours? Truly amazing. Once they are done in the crock pot, you take them out and lay on a sheet pan. Slather the rest of the sauce on them and broil for another 10-20 minutes to get those charred almost burnt edges (my husband’s favorite part) and lets not forget about the sticky sweet sauce on top, oh my. Really what are you waiting for? Too hot in the summer to grill these? Yep, use your crock pot.
