Description

If you’re looking for a way to elevate your chicken wing experience, then this Crock Pot Chicken Wings recipe is just what you need.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce, divided
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ⅛ tsp ground oregano

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your rub, which is the key to flavor-packed wings. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, and ground oregano. Make sure to mix the ingredients well, breaking up any clumps of brown sugar—this ensures an even coating when applied to the wings. A well-balanced rub can really enhance the overall taste of the dish.
  2. Once your rub is ready, pat the chicken wings with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This preparation is crucial, as it allows the rub to adhere better, promoting a flavorful crust. Sprinkle the rub generously over the wings, coating both sides thoroughly. Don’t forget to massage the spices into the skin; this ensures every bite is packed with delicious flavor.
  3. Next, prepare your crock pot by spraying the bottom and sides with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Layer the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer at the bottom of the pot. To add some moisture and flavor, pour ½ cup of BBQ sauce over the wings. Toss the wings gently to ensure they’re fully coated. Cover the crock pot and set it to low for about 3-4 hours or on high for 1-2 hours. The wings are done when they’ve reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. While the wings are cooking, preheat your oven to the broil setting. Once the wings are ready, transfer them to a wire rack placed over a lined baking sheet—this will allow heat circulation for even crisping. Brush with the remaining ½ cup of BBQ sauce over the wings, setting the stage for that irresistible glaze. Broil the wings in the oven for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce caramelizes. If you like them extra crispy, consider flipping them halfway to get that perfect golden-brown finish.

Notes

Dry the wings thoroughly: This step is crucial for crispy skin. Don’t overload the crock pot: Too many wings can prevent proper cooking. Make ahead: You can season the wings a day in advance and refrigerate them overnight. Leftovers: Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
