I picked this because we likely won't be ordering wings from the wing place anytime soon. (I guess I better hope we don't have any flops in May, eh?) Also, we had some hoisin sauce that needed to be used, so it had that going for it. AND then I noticed that the hoisin sauce had wheat in it. Luckily, I had all of the ingredients to make my own.
"Hoisin Chicken Wings" (6 quart pot)
The original recipe is HERE.
"Homemade Hoisin Sauce"
~4 T soy sauce (The one I bought this week is Tamari's low sodium.)
~2 T peanut butter
~1 T honey
~2 garlic cloves, chopped
~2 t sesame seed oil
~1 t hot sauce (I used Franks Red Hot Xtra Hot)
~1/8 t pepper
"Hoisin Chicken Wings"
~4 lbs chicken wings (The original recipe said 2-3. A friend was in town joining us for dinner (Hi Forrest!), so I dumped the entire bag into the pot and crossed my fingers.)
~homemade hoisin sauce (or 1/2 c prepared)
~1/4 c honey
~5 garlic cloves, chopped
~1 inch ginger, peeled and chopped finely
~1 T sesame oil
Add chicken to crock pot.
Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.
(I missed the part where I was supposed to cook for an additional 30 minutes on high. Oops. I guess we were hungry.)
3 servings.
These wings were super flavorful, but I think the batch of wings I bought was not the best. Or maybe the wing place just spoiled us. I really have no idea. We polished off every single wing, so they couldn't've been that bad. Even Forrest who "doesn't like wings" said that he didn't hate them. I think this sauce would be fantabulous over thighs or something. Maybe the next time I feel like being creative I'll whip together something fun like that, you know, if I'm paying attention.
