Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Chicken Wings The heart of the dish, providing that juicy, meaty texture.
  • 1 cup Buffalo Sauce Adds acidity, heat, and that signature flavor!
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances flavor and aroma with rich, savory notes.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Complements the garlic, rounding out the flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential seasoning for elevating taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Essential seasoning for elevating taste.

Serving Suggestions

  • 1/2 cup Blue Cheese Perfect for dipping; adds a creamy balance to the spice.
  • 2 stalks Celery Sticks Fresh, crunchy, a classic accompaniment.
  • 2 stalks Carrot Sticks Sweet and vibrant, providing a refreshing crunch.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Rinse your chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, mix buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the sauce mixture.

Cooking

  • Transfer the coated chicken wings to your Crock Pot, spreading them out evenly.
  • Cover with the lid, set the Crock Pot to low, and cook for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.
  • Check that the wings are fully cooked and tender; they should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Serving

  • Once cooked, remove the wings from the Crock Pot and place them on a serving platter.
  • Serve with blue cheese dressing, celery sticks, and carrot sticks on the side.
  • Enjoy the juicy, flavorful wings!

Notes

For extra crispy skin, broil the wings in the oven for 5-8 minutes after cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. These wings freeze well for up to 3 months.
