Ingredients
Chicken Wings
-
3 pounds chicken wing drumettes
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
-
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
-
Freshly ground black pepper
Coconut Peanut Sauce
-
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
-
½ cup chicken broth
-
1 cup smooth peanut butter
-
¼ cup packed brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
-
½ teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
For Garnish
-
½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
-
½ cup finely chopped roasted peanuts
Instructions
-
Coat the insert of a 5–7 quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Preheat the broiler for 10 minutes.
-
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, paprika, and a generous amount of black pepper until evenly coated.
-
Arrange wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Broil for 5 minutes, flip, then broil another 5 minutes until lightly charred and crispy.
-
Remove wings from the oven and transfer them to the prepared slow cooker.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, chicken broth, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and hot sauce. Stir until smooth and just beginning to boil.
-
Pour the hot peanut sauce over the wings and gently turn to coat.
-
Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours, turning the wings occasionally so they absorb the sauce evenly.
-
Garnish with chopped cilantro and roasted peanuts. Serve warm directly from the slow cooker.
Notes
-
For extra saucy wings, add an additional ¼ cup coconut milk near the end of cooking.
-
Adjust heat by increasing or reducing the hot sauce.
-
These wings can be broiled up to 2 days ahead and finished in the slow cooker before serving.
