Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.5 cups Soy sauce
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 pieces Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the chicken wings by patting them dry with paper towels. If needed, cut them into drumettes and flats, discarding the wing tips.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined to create the teriyaki sauce.
Place the prepared chicken wings into the crock pot. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the wings, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2.5 hours, stirring halfway through cooking to ensure even coverage.
When the wings are fully cooked and tender, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl to form a slurry.
Remove the wings from the crock pot and transfer them to a serving dish, keeping them warm. Carefully pour the teriyaki sauce remaining in the crock pot into a saucepan.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, then slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Drizzle the thickened sauce over the warm wings, or return the wings to the saucepan to coat them thoroughly in the sauce.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
