Sweet Chili Wings

I love cooking wings, there are so many flavors to work with and different methods to use when cooking. We like our wings on the spicy side, but these Sweet Chili Wings give you sweet flavor with a little kick. I used to boil wings for about 10 to 15 min to render some of the fat off of them, which works very well. After boiling I would put them on the grill while basting often. This time I let the wings cook in a 5 qt (a 4 qt will fit 3 lbs of chicken too) slow cooker for 3.5-4 hours and then threw them on the grill. By putting the wings in the slow cooker, the wings became extremely tender and fell right off the bone. This is one of the things Lauren liked best. I really like the slow cooker method, and recommend it if you have the time.

With the Super Bowl coming next week, this would be a perfect party food! We also have a 7 qt slow cooker which allows to make larger quantities, up to about 7-8 lbs of chicken. I think for the big game I am going to experiment with a spicier sauce.

Are you making wings for the Super Bowl?  What kind of sauce do you use?
