One great thing about this recipe is that it has built-in instructions for day-before prep if you want to get ahead of the game. While you don’t have to prep the day before, it does help the flavors come out a little better if you can give these wings 24 hours to chill. Be sure to have some Bleu Cheese or Ranch on hand for these – you’ll want something to cool your tongue. Thanks to Spicy Southern Kitchen for an excellent wing recipe that I’ll be using for many years to come. I can’t wait for the next game so I can try these out again!

 

Ingredients

 

1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped

4 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped

3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, divided

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided

4 pounds chicken wings, halved at joint and wingtips removed

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup tomato paste

sesame seeds, optional

 

Instructions

Place ginger, garlic, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a food processor and pulse until a paste is formed.

Place chicken wings and paste in crock pot and toss to coat.

Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours. Use slotted spoon to remove wings and place them in a large bowl lined with paper towels. Discard liquid in crock pot.

Let wings cool 20 minutes or you can refrigerate them up to 24 hours.

Place oven rack in lower-middle of oven. It should be 10 to 12 inches from the heating element. Turn oven to BROIL.

Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and spray rack with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together water, tomato paste, remaining 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Pour half of sauce in bowl with chicken wings and gently toss to coat. Place wings skin side up on prepared rack.

Broil until wings are lightly charred, about 10 to 15 minutes. Flip wings over and brush with sauce. Broil 3 minutes. Flip and brush with sauce one more time and broil 2 minutes.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Quick tip: The final broil times may need to be adjusted depending on your broiler. Watch for a charred coating of sauce before removing, and move closer to the element if not charring.
