Prep Time
This recipe takes about 10 minutes of prep time. This includes gathering ingredients and washing and cutting the chicken wings. The wings will have to marinate in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before they’re ready to go in the crock pot.
Cook Time
The wings will need to cook in the crock pot for about 4 hours on low. After the wings are done cooking, you can turn the crock pot to the “warm” setting to let them sit for up to an hour before serving them. This will help the sauce to thicken and the wings to become more tender.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. of chicken wings
- 1 cup of hot sauce
- 1/2 cup of butter
- 2 tsp. of garlic powder
- 2 tsp. of onion powder
- 1 tsp. of paprika
- 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by washing the chicken wings and patting them dry. Cut the wings in half at the joint and discard the tips. Place the wings in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, mix together the hot sauce, butter, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Pour the sauce over the wings and mix until the wings are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Once the wings are done marinating, place them in the crock pot. Cook the wings on low for 4 hours. After 4 hours, turn the crock pot to the “warm” setting and let the wings sit for up to an hour. This will help the sauce to thicken and the wings to become more tender.
Equipment
- Large bowl
- Crock pot
Notes
If you like your wings extra spicy, you can add more cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the sauce mixture. You can also add honey or brown sugar to the sauce to add a bit of sweetness. If you’re looking to cut down on the fat, you can use low-fat butter or olive oil in the sauce.
