Duration: 20 minute prep & 3 hour slow cook in crock pot

I brought this chicken over to a Friendsgiving Dinner party and they were a hit!  This recipe took such little efforts and was so delicious! I doubled the original recipe to bring to the party and used wings since they were easy to grab and eat and I went home with pretty much an empty tupperware.  The beauty of this recipe was that it allowed for me to prep a second dish to bring over to the party as well.  Will definitely be making this recipe again.



  • 2 lbs Chicken Party wings (Can use chicken of your liking)
  •  1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup of honey
  • 1/2 cup light soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 Tbs vegetable oil (I used olive oil)
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Dash of red pepper flakes

Garlicy Baked Shrimp




Pin Rating: 4.5
Duration: 5 min for prep & 25 minutes for the shrimp dish to bake(~ 20 minutes for the spaghetti - water takes forever to boil!)

My sister has been trying to clean out the freezer for a couple of weeks now since we've seemed to have stock piled the freezer full of food and haven't touched any of it yet.  We just happened to have 1 pound of shrimp and we weren't sure what to make for dinner until my sister reminded me I have a yummy looking shrimp dish pinned on one of my Pintrest boards (http://pinterest.com/pin/231724343298452022/).  The dish came out pretty good, but lacked a little flavor and it was probably due to me not adding white wine since there wasn't already a bottle at home. But other than that, delicious!


  • 1 lb. of Medium or Large Shrimp (pre-peeled and deveined will save you a lot of time!)
  • 1/4 cup softened butter (I let mine sit out to room temperature)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (It calls for sliced but I had some minced - not pictured)
  • 2 tbps white wine
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsp parsley
  • Olive oil
