Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

My dad makes some of the best chicken wings I've ever had. They're super decadent and he marinades them for well over 24 hours. These aren't my dad's wings, but I feel like if he decided to go for an Asian-inspired sweet and sour wing, this is what he'd come up with!

The flavor of the sauce on these wings was just like our favorite sweet and sour sauce for dipping crab rangoon and egg rolls. I was so excited that it turned out! This is probably one of the frist recipes using cornstarch that actually worked properly and thickened the sauce!

I love that you can put this all together, but it only takes 3 hours to get finished, so you don't have to wait all day. Or, in our case, if you have a 7pm volleyball game, you can come home at 5:30 and start the slow cooker to eat dinner right after! The wings fell off the bone, and I had them for leftovers today~still wonderful!
