I really shouldn't laugh but my poor boss is so saddened by the Oregon Ducks not ranking (for the first time in six years) and he was NOT in the mood this morning.  It was pretty humorous.  I tried to bribe him these Spicy Teriyaki Wings but he wasn't in the eating mood.  

Yes, ladies and gents- football season is upon us.  I am a huge fan of college sports and am really excited to see how the Cornhuskers do this year! Whoooo! It's going to be a GOOD year.  

Now, with football comes food, food and more food, right? These wings are sweet and spicy.  Oh and really, really, REALLY messy.  Isn't that what life is all about? Good food, good friends, good times and not stressing over anything.  

The wings are slathered and swimming in a homemade spicy teriyaki sauce.  I make this amazing teriyaki sauce in a batch large enough to fill two eight ounce jars.  

The wings are slow cooked for a few hours in the flavorful sauce.  Be forewarned, your house is going to smell AMAZING!!!

I always think that they look a like "meh" when they come out the slow cooker but they are totally fall over the bone, melt-in-your-mouth delicious.  I like to throw them in the broiler for a few minutes just caramelize them but it's not necessary.

And dig into these messy, savory and wonderful wings that are super sticky and messy.  Especially if you are ME! Ha.

I spill the sauce everywhere so I keep soft, strong and cloth-like paper towels handy.  My favorite are the Viva® Vantage® Towels.  They don't tear easily, they are are stretchy and make clean up EASY.  

I buy them by the 12 pack at Walmart so I don't ever run out.  I use them for EVERYTHING.  Cleaning up craft messes, and every other spot in my casa!

Ready to make some WINGSSSSS?!!!  

These are SO easy and you will be glad you made them.  Girl Scout's honor!
