Slow Cooker Chicken Wings
Report
Slow Cooker Chicken Wings simmered in a savory Japanese broth are amazingly fall-off-the-bone tender. Cooking low and slow gives you plenty of hands-off time with surprisingly moist and delicious results.

Ingredients
- 1 lb daikon radish (about ½ daikon)
- 1 knob ginger (1 inch, 2.5 cm)
- ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (for blanching the daikon leaves)
- 1 Tbsp neutral oil
- 9 pieces chicken wings (flats/drumettes) (patted dry with a paper towel)
- ½ cup water
- 2 hard-boiled eggs (peeled)
For the Seasonings
- 3 Tbsp sake
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp mirin
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. For a slow cooker, I used my 6 QT Instant Pot. If you don’t own a slow cooker, you can simply simmer the ingredients in a regular pot for 20–30 minutes, let cool for a couple of hours while the ingredients absorb all the flavors, and then reheat again to serve.
- Peel 1 lb daikon radish and cut into rounds ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick. Peel 1 knob ginger and slice thinly.
- If the green leaves are still attached to your daikon, cut it into 2-inch pieces and blanch in salted water (just sprinkle ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt in some boiling water before adding the leaves). When the leaves are tender, take them out and soak in ice water to stop cooking further.
- Add 1 Tbsp neutral oil to the inner pot of the slow cooker and brown 9 pieces chicken wings (flats/drumettes) thoroughly.
- Add the sliced daikon and ginger to the pot.
- Add the seasonings: 3 Tbsp sake, 1 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp mirin, 3 Tbsp soy sauce.
- Add ½ cup water and 2 hard-boiled eggs (peeled). Set the slow cook timer for 5 hours.
- After cooking for 5 hours, the chicken is done. Serve the chicken wings, daikon, and eggs along with the blanched daikon leaves.
