Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken Wings
Slow Cooker Teriyaki Wings are seasoned with salty soy, sweet brown sugar tangy rice vinegar, garlic and ginger. Finish in the oven for the perfect glaze.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds Split chicken wings
- 1 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 3/4 cup Packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Rice wine vinegar
- 4 Garlic cloves grated
- 1 tablespoon Fresh grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 4 Green onions sliced green and white separated
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1/4 cup Water
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes and the white parts of the green onion. Set aside.
- Lightly spray the insert of a 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place the chicken wings in the crock and top with the sauce. Mix until all the wings are coated well.
- Top with the lid and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours, stirring halfway through, or until the wings are tender. Transfer wings to a large bowl and set aside.
- Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water. Add 1/3 of the cornstarch mixture to the boiling liquid and continue to boil for 1 minute. Sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If not thick enough, whisk another 1/3 of the cornstarch mixture. Boil until thickened and glossy.
- Pour the thickened sauce over the wings in the bowl and toss to coat.
- For an extra lacquered finish, put the wings on a foil lined sheet pan and broil on high for 3-4 minutes. Garnish with the reserved green parts of the green onions and serve.
Notes
- These wings can be kept in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
- All slow cookers cook differently, but check them at the 2 hour mark, if they don't seem to be done, check them in 30 minute increments until tender and starting to pull away from the bone.
- You can use lime juice or apple cider vinegar in place of the rice wine vinegar, and honey or granulated sugar in place of the brown sugar (although the sauce may not be as thick and sweet if using granulated sugar).
