Honey-Glazed Chicken Wings

I know, I know, I know. I said I was signing off from blogging on weekends but it's actually 9:00 p.m. Friday night and I'm scheduling this post to post Saturday morning so technically, this doesn't count. Does that logic make sense? Meh...just go with it.

Aside from my KitchenAid Mixer, I think my next favorite accessory in my kitchen is my Crockpot. Crockpots make life so much easier. My parents had an extra one at the house so they gifted it to me and I've been obsessed ever since. It's so nice to come home and smell dinner and know it's almost ready. Also, the clean up. Super easy. Hardly any dishes. I don't know how it gets better than that.

The same year my parents gave me the Crockpot, my dad got me a slow cooker recipe book for Christmas filled with delicious recipes. I'm still making my way through this sucker but I've come across some recipes I've made in the past I wanted to share.

Ladies, men love meat. A lot. Men also love wings. So, if you have a man in your life who likes to overindulge in the occasional chicken wing, this recipe is just for you.

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp vegetable oil, divided
3 lbs chicken wings
1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp water
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp black pepper

Directions:
1. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium high heat. Brown wings in batches about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer with slotted spoon to slow cooker.
2. Combine honey, soy sauce, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and garlic in medium bowl. Whisk in tomato paste, water, sugar, and pepper. Pour sauce over wings. Cover; cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 3 to 4 hours.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Enjoy!
