Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/4 C good honey (or real maple syrup)
1/2 C packed brown sugar (light or dark)
1/2 C ketchup
2 T soy sauce
2–3 T chili pepper paste, to taste (use chili garlic sauce for an extra kick)
1 tsp kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 lbs fresh chicken wings
Directions:
Directions:
1) In a 5-quart slow cooker on low, add the honey, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, chili pepper, salt and garlic. Stir to combine. Add the chicken wings. Stir until the wings are well-coated. Cover and cook for 1 to 2 hours on high (or 2½ to 3 hours on low), until the wings are cooked through.
2) Remove the wings from the slow cooker and place on a baking sheet lined with foil. I liked a baking sheet and put a cookie rack on it so they’d be elevated and easier to turn and baste.
3) Transfer the sauce from the slow cooker to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the sauce until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then slather the thickened sauce over the wings.
4) Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce starts to darken and caramelize. And don’t leave the oven. Broiling can go from caramelized to burned in a blink, just trust me on this one. Open the oven and brush another layer of sauce on the wings and broil again. Repeat until you have three layers of sauce on the wings. Remove from the oven. Serve with raw veg crudités and a creamy dip.

The first time I made this I shared a picture of the wings and dipping veg on Facebook, and received several requests to include it in the family cookbook. Enjoy!
