Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings I use drummettes/split wings.
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¾ cup buffalo sauce You can substitute any sauce, bbq etc.
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry and season the chicken with all of the spices. Ensure the chicken is fully coated. Use additional spices if necessary to fully coat the chicken.
- Place the wings in the slow cooker. I use a 7 quart. Drizzle the buffalo sauce throughout.
- Cook on High for 2 to 2 ½ hours or on Low for 4-5 hours. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees (use a meat thermometer) and until it's tender. Every slow cooker cooks at varying speeds. Keep a watchful eye and make sure you don't overcook the wings. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Be careful removing the wings. They will be super tender.
- If you prefer crispy wings, broil them for 3-4 minutes on each side or until crisp.
Notes
If you don't plan to use any sauce for the recipe, cook the wings in 1 cup of broth.
You can use any of your favorite spice blends or rubs for the chicken.
Making these in the Crockpot results in tender juicy wings that will literally fall off the bone. If you aren’t looking for fall-off-the-bone wings, I don’t recommend this recipe.
