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
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (Your favorite store-bought brand)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    In a large bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This is your dry rub.

    Time: 5 min
  2. 2.

    Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the dry rub.

    Time: 5 min
  3. 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.

    Time: 5 min
  4. 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.

    Time: 360 min
  5. 5.

    Preheat your oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with foil.

    Time: 5 min
  6. 6.

    Remove the chicken wings from the crockpot and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

    Time: 5 min
  7. 7.

    Brush the wings generously with your favorite BBQ sauce.

    Time: 5 min
  8. 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.

    Time: 5 min
  9. 9.

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

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.
