Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Chicken wings (split into drumettes and flats)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Season the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to make the sauce.
Pour half of the sauce over the chicken wings in the slow cooker and gently toss to coat.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook the wings for 4 hours, or until they are tender and fully cooked. Stir the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even coating and cooking.
Once done, preheat your oven to broil and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Carefully transfer the cooked wings to the wire rack, arranging them in a single layer.
Brush the wings with the remaining BBQ sauce and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and slightly charred. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the wings from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or serve with ranch dip.
