What to Do
- Cut off and discard wing tips; cut wings in half at joint.
- Combine syrup and next 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well. Reserve 1-1/2 cups marinade for serving as a dipping sauce; cover and chill. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic freezer bag; add chicken, and seal. Chill 8 hours, turning bag occasionally.
- Preheat the broiler. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Place chicken skin side up on a lightly greased rack in a broiler pan. Broil 3" from heat 10 to 12 minutes or until browned.
- Place wings in a 4- to 5-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW setting 4 hours. Serve with reserved 1-1/2 cups marinade, dressing, and celery sticks.
Notes
For testing, we used a medium-heat hot sauce. If you choose to go with a hotter sauce, decrease the amount to 1-1/2 cups.
