Description

Tender, flavorful chicken wings slow-cooked in a Crock Pot and finished off for a crispy texture. Perfect for game days or parties.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Place chicken wings in the Crock Pot and pour the sauce over them. Stir to coat evenly.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until wings are tender.
  4. Optional: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or set broiler to high.
  5. Transfer wings to a baking sheet lined with foil and broil or bake for 5-10 minutes to crisp the skin.
  6. Meanwhile, pour the cooking liquid from the Crock Pot into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  7. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir into the sauce and cook until thickened.
  8. Brush or toss the crispy wings with the thickened sauce before serving.

Notes

  • You can skip the broiling step if you prefer softer wings.
  • For spicier wings, add more crushed red pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
