Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 3/4 cup sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Melted
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup lime juice Freshly squeezed preferred
For the Wings
  • 4 pounds frozen chicken wings and/or drumettes

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a 5-quart slow cooker on low power, add the sriracha sauce, butter, honey, and lime juice. Stir to combine.
  2. Add the chicken wings and stir again to ensure they are coated in the sauce.
Cooking
  1. Cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 4 to 6 hours until the wings are cooked through.
  2. Once cooked, transfer the sauce to a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer the sauce until it thickens, which takes about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Broiling
  1. Remove the wings from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Drizzle some honey sriracha sauce over the wings.
  2. Set your oven to broil.
  3. Place the baking sheet of wings under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce starts to caramelize. Remove them from the oven.
  4. Coat the wings with sauce again, broil for 1 minute, then take them out. Repeat one more time, ensuring that the wings are nicely caramelized.
Serving
  1. Remove them from the oven and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave when ready to enjoy again. For a milder flavor, reduce the sriracha or add more honey. Watch the wings while broiling to prevent burning.
