Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wingettes
- 0.5 cups honey
- 0.25 cups soy sauce (low sodium)
- 0.25 cups ketchup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water (cold)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the chicken wingettes by patting them dry with paper towels. This helps remove excess moisture and allows the sauce to stick better.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, unsalted butter (melted), minced garlic, ground black pepper, and paprika until evenly combined.
Place the wingettes in the slow cooker and pour the honey sauce over them, ensuring all the wingettes are evenly coated.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the wingettes to a serving platter. Leave the sauce in the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker sauce, stirring well.
Turn the slow cooker to HIGH and let the sauce cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
Drizzle the thickened sauce over the wingettes, ensuring they are well-coated.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired, before serving.
