Total: 3 hours 5 minutes
These crockpot Hawaiian chicken wings are tender, sticky, and packed with sweet and savory flavor. A quick broil adds caramelized goodness for an irresistible finish.

Ingredients
 

  • 4 lbs chicken wings fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup pineapple chunks or to taste
  • sliced scallions optional garnish

Instructions

  • If using frozen wings, thaw them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (I like to thaw overnight).
    4 lbs chicken wings
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, pineapple juice, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside and refrigerate ¼ cup of the sauce for broiling later.
    ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, 2 cloves garlic, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • Place wings in slow cooker and top with remaining sauce. Stir to coat.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours or until the wings reach 165°F and are tender.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil. Use tongs to carefully transfer wings to the baking sheet, brush with the reserved sauce, and broil for 1-2 minutes, turn, and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes just until the wings start to caramelize and get glossy.
  • Sprinkle with sliced scallions and garnish with pineapple chunks before serving.

Notes

Thaw frozen wings in the refrigerator before beginning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven.
Broiling is optional, but highly recommended as it adds great texture and caramelizes the glaze.
If your oven does not have a broil function you can bake your wings at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
