Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints and tips discarded
  • 1 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken wings in the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, combine the Buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top if available.
  7. Arrange the cooked wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking, until the skin is browned and slightly crisp.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and fresh vegetables if desired.

Notes

  • Add honey to the sauce for a sweet and spicy variation.
  • Increase the Buffalo sauce and add cayenne pepper for extra heat.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese after baking for a garlic Parmesan version.
  • Add smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze cooled wings for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in a 375°F oven or air fryer for best texture.
