Slow Cooker Asian Glazed Wings

These slow cooker Asian Glazed Wings are "fall off the bone" tender and delicious.

Slow Cooker Asian Glazed Wings


These slow cooker Asian glazed wings made me a rock star in the eyes of my grandkids. The first time I made them, five years ago, The boys devoured them.

My only issue: How do you get a six year old to stop wiping his hands on his shirt while eating wings coated with a delicious sticky sauce? The piles of wet towels I provided didn't seem to help. These boys! I adore them!

All I need to do is text my oldest grandson photos of wings and he skateboards over to taste test. Actually not just taste test, but devour!

How to Make Slow Cooker Asian Glazed Chicken Wings: 


First, you coat these wings with a dry rub of brown sugar, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Then, place these wings in the slow cooker for about 4 hours to render the fat. You will not need to add any other liquid.

Next, you broil the wings in the oven to crisp up the skin.

Finally, you brush the wings with a mixture of hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and Sriracha sauce, and continue to broil the wings until they are crispy and sticky. Crazy good.

Slow Cooker Asian Glazed Wings Shopping List:

  • You will need four pounds of trimmed chicken wings. That means that the tips have been removed and the drumettes (the parts that look like mini chicken legs) and winglets have been separated. If you buy whole chicken wings, purchase four and half pounds. 
  • Hoisin sauce - it's typically a mixture of soybeans, starches, sweet potato, sesame seeds. garlic, flour, chiles, spices, and sugar. Most supermarkets carry it, but if yours doesn't, you can find it in a Asian grocery store. 
  • You will also need rice vinegar and Sriracha sauce.

This is an update from a post from August, 2014. I've added new photos and a printable recipe card. Plus, I got to serve these to my now older grandsons, who made their dad bring them over to our house so that they could have some. They loved them just as much as the first time.

Enjoy! 

Although they are best fresh from the broiler, they can be made in advance and are still awesome reheated the next day. Just ask my grandsons.

  11. These would disappear in under 10 minutes in my house. I am going to have to get some more hoisin to make it... I am sure I don't have a whole cup left.
