Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. If the wings are whole, separate them at the joints into drumettes and wingettes, discarding the wing tips if desired.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to create the marinade.
Place the chicken wings into the Crock Pot and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all the wings are fully coated.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and set it on low heat. Cook for 4 hours, occasionally stirring to ensure even cooking and coating.
After 4 hours, remove the wings from the Crock Pot and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the remaining marinade in the Crock Pot and whisk to combine.
Transfer the thickened sauce from the Crock Pot to the stovetop. Heat on medium until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 3–5 minutes.
Brush the thickened sauce over the wings. To add a caramelized texture, broil the wings in the oven on high for 3–5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving, if desired.
Serve the wings hot and enjoy their tender, flavorful goodness!
