These Crockpot Chicken Wings are the easiest appetizer of all time. You only need chicken wings and some BBQ sauce. For an amazing finished product, finish them off on the grill or under the broiler. Tasty little devils.
CROCKPOT CHICKEN WINGS
Today I am sharing with you a wonderfully simple Crockpot Chicken Wings recipe! So, I’m not quite sure what came over me and why I wanted to eat chicken wings so so badly the other day, but that’s the reality of my life. I’ve stopped asking questions and just go with the flow…most of the time.
Why use a Crockpot?
I pulled out my crockpot and not the deep fryer because
Ew. I hate the smell that lingers in my house from deep frying
Set it and forget it!!
But most importantly: my thighs don’t need any help getting larger.
HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN WINGS IN A CROCKPOT
Toss chicken wings in salt, pepper and 1/2 cup bbq sauce.
Place into the crockpot and cook 2-3 hours until fully cooked but not falling off the bone.
Remove from the crockpot, baste generously and grill or broil until the skin toasts up and the bbq sauce caramelizes.
Serve with celery, carrots and blue cheese dip.
OTHER CHICKEN WING SAUCES
Hot Sauce + Butter – as I mentioned above, this is the classic hot wing combination. Super delicious, especially with that blue cheese dip!
Honey + Garlic -a simple, flavorful and mild option for wings. Extra sticky, but very delicious.
Teriyaki sauce/Hoisin Sauce – for a tasty Asian flair, try one of these options. Fabulous topped with sesame seeds.
Using just BBQ sauce, all of our wings got finished with zero leftovers. Even my youngest loved ’em. {He is seriously my toughest critic.}
