Ingredients

1 kg Chicken wings approx 800g with wing tips removed
265 g Hot Sauce of your choice, spice level to preference

For thickening the sauce

1-2 tbsp Cornflour mix 1 part cornflour to 2 parts water, to make a slurry

Instructions

Prepare your chicken wings by cutting the drummette, wingette and wing tip. Discard the wing tips. See the attached video for a useful guide.
Mix the prepared chicken wings with your hot sauce.
Cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
After slow cooking, carefully remove and place on a baking tray. Put under a hot grill for a few minutes.
To thicken the sauce in the slow cooker, mix a small amount of cornflour slurry with the leftover sauce. Scrape any bits of hot sauce off the side of the slow cooker.
Remove the wings from under the grill and brush them with the thickened hot sauce. Grill again, keeping an eye on the hot wings so that they don't burn. Repeat and flip as many times as you like, until you reach your desired crispiness and colour.
