What Makes This Recipe So Good
This recipe is seriously weirdly good. The wings are tender and succulent, and the sauce is just perfect. These Crockpot wings are super easy. They’re pretty much dump and go, with a little broiling for extra crispy wings. You can easily make them paleo and Whole30 by simply using ghee instead of butter and use serve with my Dump Ranch dressing! Chicken wings don’t have to be hard work when you have a crockpot! By slow cooking the wings, you will always have juicy and succulent chicken every single time! So little prep time is needed for this classic appetizer, so it’s a great choice to serve when you are hosting a crowd. You may think that if you cook chicken wings in a crockpot that they won’t be crispy, but that’s not the case with this recipe! By giving the chicken a quick broil, you end up with crispy and tender wings without them drying out. I love that you can get crispy wings without the need for deep frying!

Can you make these ahead of time?
These chicken wings are best served when freshly made so that the skin stays nice and crispy. If you do need to wait before you serve them, you can keep them warm in the crockpot for a little while.
Chef’s Tips
Use organic chicken wings if possible that haven’t been raised on antibiotics. Be sure to season the wings before adding them to the crockpot. Keep an eye on the wings while you are broiling them so that they don’t burn. Serve with a blue cheese or ranch dip and celery sticks.
