Allergen Alert!
If you’re allergic to soy, you can use an equal amount of coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
Leave the sesame seeds off if you have a sesame allergy.
Combine the first six ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Place the chicken wings on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels.
Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the wings. Pat with hands to make sure it sticks. Wash your hands when done.
Use tongs to place the wings in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour sauce over top. Stir to coat.
Put the lid on the slow cooker and set on high for two and a half hours.
When the wings are almost done, preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
When the wings are done, use tongs to place them on the baking sheet about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) apart.
Place in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the skin is slightly crispy and browned.
Ladle the remaining sauce over the wings. Toss to coat.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot.
You don’t want to use chicken wings? You can make this recipe with chicken thighs or drumsticks. Just add an hour of cooking time to your slow cooker (3 1/2 hours, instead of 2 1/2).
