  • For the glaze:
    • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
    • 1/2 cup honey
    • 2 tbsp soy sauce
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken wings with salt and black pepper. Place them in the crockpot.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Pour over the wings in the crockpot.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the wings are tender and cooked through.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Using tongs, transfer the wings to the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the glaze in the crockpot.
  6. Brush the wings with some of the reserved glaze. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and brush with more glaze. Bake for another 10 minutes until crispy.
  7. While the wings bake, pour the remaining glaze into a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  8. Once the wings are done, toss them in the thickened glaze until fully coated.

Glazed to perfection, these wings boast a sticky-sweet exterior with a hint of heat, all while staying juicy inside. Serve them piled high with a side of cool ranch or blue cheese dressing to dunk.
