Equipment
- Knife and cutting board
- Broiler pan
- Slow cooker
- Mixing bowl
- Tongs
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 3 chicken wings (approx. 16-18 wings)
- salt and black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup oil
- ½ cup favorite bottled barbecue sauce
- 2 cups honey
- 1 cup soy sauce
Instructions
- Cut off and discard the wing tips, then slice each wing at the joint to create two sections.
- Lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the wings on a broiler pan and place them about six inches from the heat source.
- Broil for about ten minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Once browned, transfer the wings to a slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, mix the remaining ingredients until well combined.
- Then pour the sauce over the wings.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to High for two hours or Low for four hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the wings to become tender.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil the wings again for a few minutes after slow cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
- Adding a dash of smoked paprika or cayenne can enhance the BBQ flavor with a smoky or spicy kick.
- Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for a creamy contrast.
