FAQ’s

1. What will I need to complete this recipe?
   1. Chicken wings – if wings are frozen, they will need an additional hour of cooking time.
   2. Onion – any will do.  I prefer to use a yellow onion.
   3. Low Sodium Soy Sauce – it is important to use low sodium or the sauce gets very salty.
   4. Brown sugar
   5. Rice Wine Vinegar – this gives it a great flavor, but can be substituted with any vinegar.
   6. Ground ginger – you can use whole ginger and grate or finely chop – 2 teaspoons.  
   7. Garlic
   8. Cornstarch – this will thicken the sauce and the sauce can be used as a dipping sauce, but isn’t necessary.
   9. Water – to be used with the cornstarch
2. You will need the following supplies:
   1. CrockPot
   2. Saucepan 
   3. Cookie sheet (if crisping)
   4. Tin foil (to line cookie sheet)
3. What if I like crispy wings?

If you want a crispy wing, when they are done cooking, place them on a tinfoil lined cookie sheet.  Set the broiler for 400° and place on the highest rack possible for 5 minutes.  Turn and broil the other side for 5 minutes.  This will make the skins crispy.

4. How should I store the wings?

Place in an airtight container or a ziplock bag.  Keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
