Lazy Cookin’: Sweet Chile Hot Wings
By Hi, my name is vacuumslayer and I’m a lazy cook. Oh, not always. But if there’s a way to simplify the cooking process I’m all over that like white on rice. So it should come as no surprise that one of my current favorite recipes is this “lazy” slow-cooker chicken wing dish by Rachael Ray.
It’s a 5-ingredient recipe that takes mere minutes to throw together and minutes to add finishing touches to. It’s simple: throw some wings in a 3 ingredient sauce, let the wings “marinate” in the sauce for several hours, then throw them under the broiler for 5-10 minutes. It’s almost too easy.
- For the sauce, combine 1 cup of honey, 1 cup of soy sauce and 1/4-1/3 cup Sriracha in the slow cooker.
- Throw in 3-4 lb. bag of a wings and let cook on High for 3 1/2-4 hours.
- Remove wings from the slow cooker, arrange them on a baking sheet then broil on high for 5 to 10 minutes, ’til they char and crisp a bit.
- Serve sprinkled with chopped, fresh cilantro. (I like to serve mine with a generous spritz of fresh lime juice, as well…and straining and boiling down the cooking liquid is always an option, if you’re so inclined. I am not. Because I’m lazy.)
So lazy. So yummy.
