Equipment

  • crockpot (slow cooker)

Ingredients

  • 12-16 raw chicken wings
  • 1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dry BBQ rub

You'll also need cooking spray.

Instructions

  • Pat the wings dry using paper towels then add to a large bowl. Sprinkle on dry rub and toss to evenly coat.
  • Light spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray then add wings in a mostly single layer. Pour half of the BBQ sauce over the wings (reserve the rest) and turn to coat them.
  • Place a sheet of paper towel over the top of the crockpot to absorb excess condensation then cover and cook on HIGH 2-3 hours (cook time will vary with size of wings.
    Use a meat thermometer to be sure they’re cooked through to 165 degrees.
  • Transfer cooked wings to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and a wire rack (if you don’t have a baking rack, add wings directly to the aluminum foil).
  • Brush bbq sauce over the wings and broil 2-3 minutes (watch closely so they don’t burn) until they're crispy, golden and the sauce is caramelized (flip and repeat on the other side).
