Chef’s Tips for Foolproof Slow Cooking

To ensure the best results, here are some tips for slow cooking this delicious dish:

• Use fresh peaches for the best flavor, but canned peaches can be substituted if fresh ones are not in season.
• For easier serving, consider removing the skin from the peaches before adding them to the Crockpot.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of Sriracha to the Crockpot.
• To make the chicken wings even more tender, you can break them apart after cooking and toss them in the sauce.

• 2 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned)
• 1/2 cup honey

What to Serve With It & Storage Tips

These Crockpot Peach Honey Soy Chicken Wings are delicious on their own, but they pair beautifully with a variety of sides. Here are a few suggestions:

• Steamed rice: A bed of fluffy steamed rice is perfect for soaking up the delicious sauce.
• Rice noodles: If you prefer a lighter option, rice noodles can be a great alternative.
• Roasted vegetables: Add some color and nutrition with a side of roasted vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or broccoli.
• Green salad: A fresh green salad with your favorite dressing can balance the richness of the chicken wings.
