My two cents ..
Fresh chicken drumsticks, wings, ribs in a Crockpot in sticky honey and garlic sauce
Sauce made directly in Crockpot and stirred well
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup honey
1 tsp garlic powder or 3 cloves fresh garlic – minced
Place desired meat inside the Crockpot, coat meat pieces with sauce.
Set Crockpot on high, check after 3 hours for doneness.
Once cooked (SAVE the sauce!), spread meat pieces on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 F.
For the glaze to use after meats are done:
Cooked sauce from Crockpot and a slurry made with :
1 Tbs potato starch
2 Tbs water
Pour out cooked sauce from a Crockpot into small cooking pan, set over the heat.
Add in slurry whisking, and cook until it bubbles, turn off the heat.
Brush hot sauce thickly and generously as you like over the meats.
Place in the oven for 5-6 minutes.
Note:
You don’t have to make the glaze, but that’s something I came up with as an experiment and have been using ever since. I use potato starch because it gives clear shine and doesn’t have to be boiled like flour or other starches.
Depending on meat sizes, you can double the sauce, add more garlic or less.
The more glaze you spread, the stickier the pieces of meat
