Slow Cooker Honey Chipotle Chicken Wings Recipes

SLOW COOKER HONEY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• In slow cooker, whisk together all sauce ingredients except for water and corn starch. Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Add half of the sauce. Add chicken wings to slow cooker and toss to coat in the sauce. (**see directions below for homemade boneless wings). Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low 6-7 hours. In a small bowl whisk together cold water and corn starch. Add to slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook another 15-20 minutes until sauce is thickened. Serve wings with ranch dressing or other favorite dipping sauces. **For homemade boneless chicken wings: Whisk together eggs and water in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs in another bowl. Add chicken pieces and corn starch to a large bag. Seal the bag and shake to coat chicken pieces with corn starch. Remove chicken from bag, dip into egg mixture, then toss in bread crumbs to coat well. Add breaded chicken pieces to well greased slow cooker (without sauce). Cook on high 3-4 hours or on low 6-7 hours. When fully cooked, toss in sauce and then serve. (Waiting to toss the chicken in the sauce at the end will prevent the chicken breading from getting soggy. For even crispier chicken, bake at 450 for 5-10 minutes before tossing in the sauce)

SLOW COOKER CHIPOTLE-HONEY CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, honey, onion and garlic powders, cumin, salt and chipotle chiles and adobo sauce in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir well. Cook for at least 3 hours and up to 5 hours on low. If it's more convenient, you can let the slow cooker switch to warm after 5 hours. The dish will hold on warm for about another 3 hours before the chicken starts to become quite dry.
• Using two forks, coarsely shred the chicken in the sauce. Stir in the black beans and lime juice. Cover and let the beans warm through, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve in tortillas with pickled onion and avocado.
