In a medium-sized bowl, toss chicken in cornstarch to coat.
1 ½ pounds chicken, ⅓ cup cornstarch
In large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat, then add chicken and brown. You don't need to cook the chicken through, just get color on each side.
⅓ cup oil
Place the browned chicken in the slow cooker.
In a small mixing bowl combine the hot wing sauce, brown sugar, water, and vinegar.
½ cup hot wing sauce, 2 cups brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons water, 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker and stir.
Cook on low for 4 hours, stirring once or twice to make sure the sugars are not burning.
Garnish with scallions and serve over white rice.
