How To Make Crock Pot Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

1. Add wings to slow cooker: Place fresh chicken wings directly into the crock pot.
2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and brown sugar. Reserve ¼ cup of this sauce for later.
3. Cook the wings: Pour the remaining sauce over the wings. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours until tender.
4. Optional broil for glaze: Transfer wings to a foil-lined baking sheet, brush with reserved sauce, and broil briefly until caramelized.

Recipe Tips

• Can I use frozen wings?
  For best texture, thaw wings before cooking so the sauce adheres better and cooks evenly.
• How to make the wings extra crispy?
  Broil them after slow cooking to caramelize the glaze and crisp the edges.
• Can I make these wings less sweet?
  Reduce the honey slightly and add a splash of rice vinegar or more soy sauce for balance.
• What other flavors can I add?
  A pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha adds heat.
• Do I have to broil the wings?
  No, but broiling gives them a sticky, restaurant-style finish.

What To Serve With Honey Garlic Wings

These wings pair perfectly with simple sides or party snacks like:

• Celery and carrot sticks with ranch or blue cheese dip
• Steamed jasmine rice
• Coleslaw
• Garlic fried rice

How To Store Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

Refrigerate: Store cooled wings in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
