SLOW COOKER BUFFALO WINGS

Buffalo wings made in the slow cooker are tender a crowd pleaser.

Provided by Sarah Olson

Categories     Appetizer

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs. chicken wings (thawed not frozen)
12 oz. Franks Red Hot Original Sauce
3 Tbsp. salted butter
Good Blue Cheese Dressing (I used Litehouse "Big Blue")
Carrot sticks
Celery sticks

Steps:

  • 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 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, take the wings out of the slow cooker, leaving the sauce in the slow cooker, and put the wings on a baking sheet.
  • Broil the wings in the oven for a few minutes on each side until browned and crisp.
  • Add the wings back to the slow cooker, and stir them back into the sauce.
  • Serve with blue cheese, carrots, and celery.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Wings: Opt for fresh, plump chicken wings with a good amount of meat. For a crispier texture, consider using wingettes (the smaller, more meaty part of the wing).
  • Dry the Wings Thoroughly: Pat the wings dry before tossing them in the sauce. This helps the sauce adhere better and prevents sogginess.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Slow Cooker: Place the wings in a single layer in the slow cooker to ensure even cooking and optimal crispiness.
  • Sauce It Up: Use a flavorful buffalo sauce that you enjoy. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand. Adjust the amount of sauce based on your desired level of spiciness.
  • Cook Low and Slow: Cook the wings on low heat for 4 hours or on high heat for 2 hours. This allows the sauce to penetrate the meat and results in fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
  • Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the wings have reached an internal temperature of 165°F. This ensures that they are thoroughly cooked and safe to eat.
  • Crisp Them Up: For a crispier texture, broil the wings for a few minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can place them on a baking sheet and bake them at a high temperature for a short period.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker buffalo wings are an easy and delicious appetizer or main course that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a crowd-pleasing dish that is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So, gather your ingredients, fire up your slow cooker, and get ready to indulge in the irresistible flavors of these slow-cooker buffalo wings!
