Sticky Crock Pot Chicken Wings Recipe
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds chicken wings or drumettes
1 bottle (32 ounces) chili sauce – Heinz makes a classic!
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 molasses
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon hot sauce, like Tabasco
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Season the chicken wings or drumettes with the kosher salt and pepper. Put them in the bottom of a crock pot.
Whisk together the chili sauce with the fresh orange juice, the molasses, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, hot sauce, garlic powder and the onion powder. Make sure all the dry spices are thoroughly combined with the liquid ingredients.
Pour the liquids over the chicken wings in the crockpot, cover the pot and cook on low for about 5 hours.

Food For Thought – You can make these wings even hotter by adding cayenne and extra Tabasco. You can also dial down the heat to suit your liking, just eliminate the Tabasco.
