    Looking for a party recipe that you’ll make again and again? These Asian style sweet and spicy chicken wings are always a hit. Perfect for the Super Bowl or any kind of bash. And they’re easy to make. Just marinate, broil and toss in the slow cooker.

    Over the years, I have been slowly building my party menu repertoire — dishes that never get old and are sure to be a hit with my guests.

    These are everything you want wings to be — spicy and messy with chicken that is is fall-off-the-bone tender. And the dipping sauce is amazing. You won’t miss ranch or blue cheese once you taste this Chinese sweet and spicy sauce.

    The sauce is also amazing on grilled ribs with an Asian dry rub.

    As my son would say, “That sauce has drip!”

    The sauce is delicious, but it’s not too spicy. It has a kick, but finishes sweet thanks to the addition of pure maple syrup.

    For best results when making this wings recipe , be sure to marinate the wings overnight.

    Then, the next day, give them a quick pass under the broiler, just long enough to brown and crisp up the skin.

    Then, toss them into a slow cooker for several hours while you prep for your party.

    After four hours, they’re ready to serve with the reserved marinade. Rather than the typical ranch or blue cheese dressing, try them with Asian white sauce or a sriracha mayonnaise.
