Succulent Slow Cooker Honey Buffalo Wings - a delightful blend of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Effortless to prepare, ideal for any gathering from game days to cozy movie nights.
Ingredients:
  • 4 pounds party wings broken into flats and drummettes (See how to break down party wings in this post )
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon cayenne, depending on the spice level you want
  • 3/4 cup hot sauce, like Crystal or Frank’s
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • To finish:
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives, optional
  • Carrot and celery sticks, for serving
  • Blue cheese or ranch dressing , for serving
Instructions:
  • Mix together brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, parsley, and cayenne in a medium bowl. Spread the seasoning over the wings evenly. Put the wings in the slow cooker and coat them with the dry rub mixture.
  • Mix the hot sauce, honey, butter, and molasses in the same bowl used for the spices. Stir well and then pour the mixture over the wings, tossing to coat evenly.
  • Prepare the wings: Choose your desired setting on the slow cooker - high for 2 1/2 hours or low for 3 1/2 hours. Let the magic happen!
  • After cooking the wings, transfer them out of the pot and pour the liquid into a large saucepan. Boil on high, stirring occasionally for 10 to 12 minutes until the sauce becomes a thick glaze. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
  • Coat wings in the thickened glaze, then broil: Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Gently toss the wings in the glaze until coated, then transfer to the wire rack. Broil for 3-4 minutes until crispy, flip, and broil for another 3-4 minutes.
  • To finish and present: Sprinkle wings with finely chopped chives as a final touch. Accompany with carrot or celery sticks and a side of either blue cheese or ranch dressing.
