Wild for Wings,
a web site devoted to just chicken wings. I slightly adapted the recipe wording
for easier reading and following. Crock Pots are also known as Slow Cookers.
Chicken wings can be time
consuming to make. This is where the handy crock pot comes in! Serve these

Crock Pot Chicken Wings in Honey Sauce Recipe
Recipe Type:
Poultry,
Meat Appetizers,
Chicken Wings
Yields: 4 to 6 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 5 hr
Ingredients:
3 pounds fresh jumbo chicken wings
Salt
and freshly-ground
black pepper
to taste
1 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 cups honey
1/2 cup ketchup
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Sesame seeds (optional)
Preparation:
Preheat Crock Pot on high for 1
hour.
NOTE: For food safety, it is a good
idea to cook on HIGH for the first hour to quickly bring the
temperature up to 140 degrees. Then turn the dial to LOW to cook
the chicken wings. The LOW setting is equal to about 200
degrees F. in the oven.
Preheat oven broiler.
Cut off the tip of each chicken
wing and discard it. Cut the wing in half (cutting at the joint) to make two
pieces. Wash and dry the chicken wings (they need to be very dry); spread
chicken wings evenly on a broiler pan. Sprinkle wing parts with
salt and pepper.
Broil chicken wings 4 to 5 inches from heat
source for
approximately 10 minutes. Using tongs, turn wings over and broil
another 10 minutes or until chicken wings are just a golden
brown (browning adds color and helps in flavor development).
Transfer the browned chicken wings to your preheated chock pot.
NOTE: Make sure you have turned the heat
down to LOW on the crock pot.
In a bowl, combine reduced-sodium
soy sauce, honey, ketchup, garlic, and vegetable oil. Pour sauce
over the chicken wings in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low heat for
approximately 4 to 5 hours. Don't lift the lid to stir, as each
time you lift the lid, enough heat will escape that the cooking
time should be extended by 20 minutes to half an hour. To check
progress without lifting the lid, spin the cover until the
condensation falls off. Then it's easy to see inside.
To serve, garnish with sesame
seeds if desired.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
