Add the chicken wings to a 8 quart slow cooker. To a small bowl add the ketchup, honey, adobo sauce, apple cider vinegar and seasonings. Stir.

Add half of the sauce and spread around all the wings. Cook on high for 4 hours. Once they are done add them to a foil lined baking sheet and baste the leftover sauce on top of them. Place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes.

Sprinkle parsley on top (optional) and serve and enjoy

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Wings Dry for Better Browning 🍗
Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels before adding to the slow cooker to remove excess moisture, allowing the skin to brown better and the sauce to adhere properly.
Bloom Your Spices First 🌶️
Toast the garlic powder and onion powder in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before mixing into your sauce to intensify their flavors and eliminate any raw, dusty taste.
Strain and Reduce Sauce for Thickness 🍯
After cooking, remove wings and strain the sauce through a fine mesh to eliminate excess liquid, then simmer in a saucepan for 5-10 minutes to thicken it to a glossy, coating consistency.
Add Honey at the End 🍂
Stir in honey during the last 30 minutes of cooking rather than at the beginning to prevent caramelization and preserve its delicate floral notes for a balanced sweet-spicy profile.
Use Whole Chipotle Peppers for Depth 🔥
Buy canned chipotle peppers in adobo and puree 2-3 whole peppers with their sauce instead of using pre-made sauce for a more complex, authentic smoky flavor that penetrates the meat better.
