Ingredients

  • 2 cups barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup cold water
  • 2 chili peppers
  • 2 sprigs rosemary optional
  • 20 chicken wings
  • 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

Slow Cooker:

  • Mix the cornstarch into the cold water. Mix until well incorporated and no lumps are left.
  • Add the barbecue sauce, sesame oil, hot sauce, white vinegar, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and chili powder. Stir well.
  • Pour over chicken wings in a slow cooker. Low 5-7 hours; High 3 1/2-4. If frozen 7-9 hrs on low.
  • OPTIONAL STEP: Preheat the oven to broil and broil wings on a single layer on a parchment-lined cookie sheet for 4-5 mins.
  • Flip the wings. Brush or pour (depending on how saucy you want the wings) sauce from the crockpot over the wings.
  • Return to oven and broil an additional 5 minutes.

Freezer Directions:

  • Mix sauce as per steps 1 & 2. Seal in bag #1.
  • Add chicken wings to bag #2. Wash the limes and toss whole into the bag with the chicken wings.
  • Place sesame seeds in a sandwich or snack-sized bag and toss in with the chicken wings too.
  • Tape the bags together using freezer or painters tape. Label and freeze.
  • Remove the limes and sesame seeds from the chicken bag before cooking. You will need them when serving.

Instant Pot Directions:

  • Freeze chicken separately from the sauce.
  • Add chicken wings to instant pot plus 1 cups of water.
  • Cover, seal, and manually set to high pressure for 8 minutes. Natural release for 10 minutes.
  • Pour the premade sauce into a bowl. Use tongs to add cooked chicken wings to the sauce. Toss to coat.
  • Broil as directed in the "OPTIONAL STEP" listed above.

Oven-Baked Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add the chicken wings to the sauce bag. Close and shake well to coat.
  • Spray a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Place the wings in a single layer in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, turn wings, brush or dap with more sauce and return to oven for 20-25 more minutes.

Notes

Chili peppers tip: Remove seeds if you want a milder flavor, leave them if you want it HOT. PS: WHERE GLOVES.
Serving Suggestions: Squeeze lime over the chicken and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
