Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. chicken wings thawed not frozen
- 12 oz. Franks Red Hot Original Sauce
- ¼ cup salted butter
For Serving
- good blue cheese dressing I used Litehouse "Big Blue"
- ranch dressing
- carrot sticks
- celery sticks
- green onion for garnish optional
Instructions
- Add the chicken, sauce, and butter (slice it up and lay on top of wings) to the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 2.5 - 3 hours. DO NOT open the lid while the wings are in the slow cooker, heat will escape and they will not cook.
- After cooking time is done, preheat the oven to broil. Take the wings out of the slow cooker onto a baking sheet, leaving the sauce in the slow cooker.
- Broil the wings in the oven for a few minutes on each side until browned and crisp. Remove all but one cup of the sauce from the slow cooker.
- Add the wings back to the slow cooker, and stir them back into the sauce.
- Serve with ranch dressing or blue cheese, carrot sticks, and celery sticks. Sprinkle the wings with green onions (optional).
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Do not use frozen chicken wings. Thaw them completely and drain well.
- You can use full size drumsticks for a complete meal. Cook for 4 hours on high.
- For mild wings, look for "mild" red hot sauce.
- Nutritional values do not include dipping sauces or sides.
