Slow Cooker Sweet and Spicy Wings
The flavor combination of these wings is insanely good and the best part is you are making it in a slow cooker. You will start with the sweet sauce, in a slow cooker bowl, add some chilli sauce, and ketchup, you will also need some honey and brown sugar and then to give you a nice deep colour you will add dark soy sauce.
For the barbeque sauce, you will add a little Worcestershire sauce and some garlic to boost up the flavour then mix everything up. For the chicken wings, you will use the little drummettes of the wings but any form of the wings or even drumsticks is fine with this recipe. Add the chicken wings in and give it a mix into the sauce then place the lid of the slow cooker on.
A few options to consider before sooking is if you want to cook it for dinner and you are away during the day, you can do the six to eight hours setting and if you are preparing for dinner and you are around the house you can set three hours on high. Once your wings are done cooking, get them out on a tray lined with foil and the braising liquid, you will turn it into a sauce.
Pour it into a saucepan and let it bubble away for around 15 minutes until it’s super thick then pour it out on a bowl and give each of the wings a good brush with the sauce. Get the wings in the oven under a very hot grill, halfway through remove them from the oven and brush with the sauce again before letting them finish cooking. Serve the wings with a sprinkle on the side and enjoy.
