Description

Delicious and easy crockpot BBQ chicken wings coated in a sweet and spicy sauce, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken wing portions (thawed if frozen)
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • ¼ cup Buffalo Sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • sliced green onion
  • ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Toss the chicken wings with salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, Buffalo sauce, and brown sugar.
  3. Place the chicken wings into the crockpot, and pour half of the sauce mixture over the wings. Reserve the remaining sauce.
  4. Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on LOW; or 2-3 hours on HIGH.
  5. Preheat the oven broiler to high. Set an oven rack in the top third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet and brush them with olive oil. Broil for 2-3 minutes, until browned and crispy.
  7. Brush with some of the reserved sauce, and broil again for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped green onion, if desired. Serve with ranch dressing and the remaining BBQ sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure wings are thawed before cooking for best results.
  • The cooking time may vary depending on your crockpot model.
  • Feel free to adjust the spice levels by adding more or less Buffalo sauce.
