Crock Pot Chicken Wings (Printable Recipe)

Crispy and juicy wings with garlic butter and parmesan made in the slow cooker and finished under the broiler.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main

01 - 4 lb chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
02 - 1 tsp sea salt
03 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
05 - 6 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
07 - Green onions or chives, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Place the chicken wings in the slow cooker. Season evenly with sea salt and black pepper, tossing to coat.
02 - Melt butter and garlic together in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Pour over wings and stir to distribute.
03 - Cover and cook the wings in the slow cooker on high for 2.5-3 hours or low for 5-6 hours, until tender.
04 - Transfer wings to a lined baking sheet and broil 5 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
05 - Sprinkle wings with shredded parmesan and return to the broiler for 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted.
06 - Optionally top with green onions or chives before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Thaw wings before slow cooking to ensure food safety and proper texture.
02 - Use a slow cooker liner for easier cleanup.
03 - Broiling is optional but strongly recommended for crisp skin.
04 - Wings can be crisped in an air fryer at 400°F for 10–15 minutes as an alternative to broiling.
05 - To keep wings warm, return them to the Crock Pot on the warm setting after broiling.
