Ingredients

2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and wingettes)

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for glaze)

2 tbsp water (to mix with cornstarch)

Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Pat wings dry and place them in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), and pepper.
Pour the marinade over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until wings are cooked through and tender.
For crispy skin, broil the wings on a foil-lined baking sheet for 3–5 minutes per side.
Optional: Pour leftover marinade into a saucepan. Mix cornstarch and water in a cup, then stir into sauce. Simmer until thickened and drizzle over wings.
Garnish with parsley or green onions and serve hot.
