Crockpot BBQ Chicken Wings
Tender, juicy chicken wings slow-cooked in a crockpot and finished with a sticky, caramelized BBQ glaze in the oven. Perfect for parties or a casual weeknight meal!
Ingredients
- •3 lb Chicken wings (About 24 wings, separated at joints if desired)
- •2 tbsp Paprika
- •1 tbsp Garlic powder
- •1 tbsp Onion powder
- •1 tsp Salt
- •1 tsp Black pepper
- •1 cup BBQ sauce (Your favorite store-bought brand)
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This is your dry rub.
- 2
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the dry rub.
- 3
Place the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer in the crockpot. If you have too many wings to fit in a single layer, you can slightly overlap them.
- 4
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, or until the chicken is very tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
- 5
Preheat your oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- 6
Remove the chicken wings from the crockpot and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7
Brush the wings generously with your favorite BBQ sauce.
- 8
Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the BBQ sauce is bubbly and caramelized, watching carefully to prevent burning. You may want to flip the wings halfway through and brush with more sauce.
- 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.
Chef's Tips
- 💡For extra crispy wings, you can place them under the broiler for a longer time, but be sure to keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- 💡If you want a thicker BBQ sauce glaze, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the BBQ sauce before brushing it on the wings.
- 💡These wings can be made ahead of time. After broiling, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
