3. Slow Cooker Magic
Place the seasoned chicken wings in the prepared slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer for optimal cooking.
4. Crafting the Honey Garlic Glaze
In a bowl, combine the honey, vegetable oil, ketchup, and minced garlic. Whisk the ingredients together until they form a tantalizingly sweet and savory glaze.
5. Drizzling with Deliciousness
Pour the honey garlic glaze evenly over the chicken wings, ensuring each piece is coated in the mouthwatering mixture.
6. Cooking to Perfection
Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on high for the first hour. Then, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to become tender and juicy.
7. Adding the Final Touch
Once the chicken is cooked through, it’s time to add the finishing touch. Preheat your oven to broil and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Using a slotted spoon or fork, transfer the chicken wings to the prepared baking sheet.
8. Broiling Brilliance
Place the baking sheet in the oven, positioning it about 3 inches from the heat source. Broil the chicken wings for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they are beautifully browned and caramelized, remembering to turn them halfway through the broiling time for even cooking.
9. Serving Up Deliciousness
Once the chicken wings are perfectly broiled, remove them from the oven and serve them hot, accompanied by the remaining sauce for dipping. Get ready to indulge in a symphony of flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing with delight!
