I agree -- unless there's some extenuating circumstance that the OP
hasn't mentioned, this is beyond rude.

Here's a good crockpot recipe for teriyaki wings (I get great reviews
when I bring this to potlucks):

Teriyaki Sauce (Jani -RFC)

1 C. brown sugar, packed
½ C. Japanese soy sauce
¼ C. light olive oil
¼ C. cooking sherry
1 tsp. fresh ground ginger
1 tsp. dry mustard
2 cloves garlic, crushed
12-14 Chicken Wings, jointed and tips removed
*OR*
Cut up 3# Frying Chicken, cut up

In large mixing bowl, add all ingredients and blend together. Pour
over chicken, and marinate meat at least 6 hours (better overnight)
turning often. I use a large plastic bag and just turn it over. Bake
in glass baking dish at 325º F. for one hour, turning & basting at
least once for wings, more for whole chicken pieces. Can also be
cooked in a crock pot by doubling recipe.
