INGREDIENTS :

For the Spice Mix

• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp seasoned salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp brown sugar

For the Honey BBQ Sauce

• 2 tbsp hot sauce (I use Frank’s original)
• 3 tbsp apple juice or apple cider
• 1/2 c honey
• 1 c BBQ sauce (I used the original recipe)

The Rest

• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 4 lbs. chicken wings, patted dry

DIRECTIONS :

1. Add all the ingredients for the spice mix into a mixing bowl. Whisk everything until well incorporated.
2. Lay the chicken wings into the slow cooker and arrange them in a single layer to the bottom. Season the chicken with the spice mix and toss to coat.
3. In another mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the BBQ sauce. Stir until well blended. Add the sauce on top of the chicken, then toss again to coat.
4. Cover and seal the slow cooker, then cook the chicken for about 2 hours on a high setting or 4 hours on a low setting.
5. Add slurry (cornstarch and water mixture) and stir until well blended. Cook for 10 more minutes or until the texture becomes thick.

To Broil the Chicken Wings:

1. Line with foil the inside of a baking sheet.
2. Arrange the chicken wings onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Broil them for about 3 minutes on each side or until they become golden brown.
3. Serve the chicken wings with the sauce. Enjoy!

Notes:

• Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container, then in the fridge. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.
