Ingredients

1 kg Chicken wings tips removed and joints separated
200 g BBQ Sauce
3 tbsp Runny honey
2 tbsp Tomato ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 cloves Garlic minced
1 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Place the chicken wings in the slow cooker bowl. In a separate jug, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the wings and stir to coat thoroughly. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the meat is tender and cooked through.
To get that signature sticky glaze, preheat your grill (or oven at 220°C). Line a tray with foil, lift the wings out of the slow cooker with tongs, and place them in a single layer. Brush them with some of the sauce from the slow cooker and grill for 5–7 minutes until the glaze caramelises and turns glossy. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
