Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings: super easy prep using food already in your pantry

Tonight we’re making sweet and sour chicken wings that we’ll be eating for the next four nights. That’s 2 servings per night for 4 nights. A total of 32 wings – nom nom nom nom nom! This may not sound like a lot but chicken wings are quite calorie high because of all the skin and fat. We’ll be plating them with mashed sweet potato and sautéed spinach (with a bit of garlic and olive oil).

This poultry creation is not a meal on its own, you will need to add some vegetable sides to round it off.

Part 1

Instructions for Prepping Slow Cooker:

• Add sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and imitation soy sauce to saucepan.
• Heat until sugar is dissolved.
• Add chicken wings to 5 quart slow cooker and top with sauce.

This can be done the night before or the day of. Doing it the night before saves time (compared to when you’re busy getting ready for work in the morning) with the added benefit extra marination! Part 2 is beneath the instructional video.

Part 2

Cooking Instructions:

• Set slow cooker to low and cook for at least 3.5 hours.
• Remove chicken from the sauce in the slow cooker and set aside. Pour sauce into saucepan.
• Combine cornstarch and water to form a paste. Slowly stir into sauce.
• Heat for a few minutes until desired thickness***.
• Add sauce back to wings and toss to coat.

***When thickening up your sauce we recommend making it sticky enough to coat the wings.
