- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup soy sauce

- 4 lb chicken wings (24)
- Sliced green onions
Directions:
- In very large bowl, mix all ingredients except chicken wings and green onions until smooth and sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add chicken wings; stir gently until wings are coated in marinade. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to marinate.
- Remove chicken from marinade; place in 4- to 6-quart slow cooker.
- Add about 1 cup of the marinade to the slow cooker; discard any remaining marinade.
