Ingredients
– 3 pounds chicken wings
– 1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of flavor)
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Creating Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Wings is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prep Chicken Wings: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Season Wings: In a large bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the spice mixture until evenly coated.
3. Add to Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned wings in the slow cooker, spreading them out as much as possible.
4. Add BBQ Sauce: Pour the BBQ sauce over the wings, ensuring they are well-coated.
5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, until the wings are tender and cooked through.
6. Crisp the Wings (Optional): For crispy skin, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the wings from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes to crisp them up.
7. Serve with Extra Sauce: If desired, toss the wings in additional BBQ sauce before serving.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the wings for a pop of color and added flavor.
