Sesame, Soy & Honey Glazed Chicken Wings

Pin It PIN IT!

Remember my last post where I talked about how I watched the movie Chef and instantly felt inspired to cook? Well, these incredible sesame, soy & honey glazed chicken wings also came from that giant bout of inspiration. In fact, I made 4 recipes that day in the span of just 3 hours.

It was pure magic, my friends. Sadly such bouts of productivity have since disappeared, but I’m hoping for another big day so I can get back on track with my blog, my job and all of my freelance obligations.

There just isn’t enough time in the day to get everything I need done. Actually, scratch that, there isn’t enough DAYLIGHT in the day for me to get everything done. If I could just get home from work and have amazing light until 11pm, that would be awesome. Sadly, enough in the middle of summer we only have light until 7.

I think in order to get my life in order, I should just move to Iceland. During the summer, they have daylight until 2 – 3 am. It’s utterly insane yet completely amazing. I remember walking to dinner at 8pm and it was sunnier than it was at 3pm.

I think I could probably change the world if I had that much daylight. Until then, I’ll dream of my new life in Reykjavik while still trapped in Washington, DC.

    looks delicious! I have two questions:

    A) do you place the wings frozen or defrosted into the crockpot

    B) for the sweet ginger garlic spice mix- do you have an alternative mix for it? I have ginger powder and garlic powder but didn't want to go hunting for another bottle to add to the spice rack.

    Thank you! :-)

    I felt the same way after watching Chef. All I wanted to do was be in the kitchen and cook for days! These chicken wings definitely look as though they came from a place of inspiration!
