  2. Mix the Teriyaki Sauce: Combine diced onion, low sodium soy sauce, light brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, ground ginger, and minced garlic in a bowl. Pour over chicken wings.
  3. Cooking the Wings: Cover the slow cooker, allowing wings to cook without lifting the lid. Cook until tender and sauces have melded.
  4. Thicken the Sauce: Remove the sauce from the slow cooker about 30 minutes before serving. Combine water with cornstarch in a saucepan, heat until thickened, then return to wings.
  5. Final Touches: Pour the thickened sauce over chicken wings, stir gently, and garnish with sesame seeds and parsley before serving.
