Equipment

- Tongs
- Baking tray (optional for broiling)
- Saucepan (optional for thickening sauce)
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Wings
- Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels. This helps the sauce stick better later.
Step 2: Make the Teriyaki Sauce
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper.
Step 3: Add to Crockpot
- Place the wings into the crockpot and pour the sauce over them. Toss gently to coat.
Step 4: Slow Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours until the wings are tender and fully cooked.
Step 5: Thicken the Sauce (Optional)
- Remove the wings. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Mix cornstarch and water, then add to the sauce and cook until thickened.
Step 6: Broil for Crispiness (Optional)
- Place wings on a baking tray and broil for 3–5 minutes to get a slightly crispy exterior.
Step 7: Serve
- Toss wings in thickened sauce, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve warm.
