How To Make Our Slow Cooker Sticky Chicken Wings Recipe:
Begin by adding honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, sriracha sauce, and add black pepper to taste in a saucepan.
Bring all of the ingredients in the pan to a boil, and then lower the temperature down and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken up.
Once it is done simmering, remove the sauce from heat and let the sauce cool down slightly.
Now, get the slow cooker out and spray it down with nonstick cooking spray to avoid the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker.
Then, place the chicken wings in the bottom of the slow cooker and pour the sauce over top of the chicken wings. Do your best to make sure they are all completely covered.
Next, place the lid on the slow cooker and turn it on high and set the timer for 4 hours.
While the chicken is cooking, remove the lid and flip the chicken a few times while it is cooking.
After the chicken is done cooking, remove the chicken wings from the slow cooker and place them on a plate.
Then, in a small bowl, mix together the water and cornstarch.
When the cornstarch mixture is combined, pour it into the sauce in the slow cooker and mix it together well.
Now, place the chicken back into the slow cooker with the sauce, and let it cook for another 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens up.
When that is done, remove the chicken from the slow cooker, top it with chopped fresh cilantro and sesame seeds and serve them hot!
