Ingredients

Units Scale

Wings

  • 4 lb Chicken wings (separated into flats and drumettes)
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 6 cloves Garlic (minced)

Garnish

  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
  • Green onions (or chives, optional; sliced thinly for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings
    Place the chicken wings in the bottom of a slow cooker. Season the wings with sea salt and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter Mixture
    In a small bowl or saucepan, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. If you prefer, melt the butter on the stove over low heat and sauté the garlic for about 1 minute before removing it from the heat.
  3. Coat the Chicken Wings
    Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken wings in the slow cooker. Stir to evenly coat the wings.
  4. Slow Cook
    Set the slow cooker to High and cook the wings for 2.5 to 3 hours, or cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours. The wings should be tender and almost falling off the bone by the time they are ready.
  5. Crisp in the Oven
    Toward the end of the cooking time, preheat your oven to Broil. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, or use foil and grease it well. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil the wings for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
  6. Add Parmesan
    Remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle them generously with shredded parmesan cheese. Place the wings back under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
  7. Garnish and Serve
    Garnish the wings with fresh green onions or chives if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Serving Size: 1/8 of the entire recipe, about 5 chicken wings.
  • Flavor Variations: You can customize these wings with buffalo sauce, BBQ sauce, teriyaki sauce, or even simple dry seasonings like paprika or chili flakes.
  • Storage: Store leftover wings in the refrigerator for 3–4 days in an airtight container.
  • Freezing: Wings can be frozen for up to 3 months. To prevent sticking, freeze the wings on a sheet pan first, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Cook the wings in the slow cooker and store them in the fridge. For optimal results, broil them fresh when serving.
  • Using Frozen Wings: If starting with frozen wings, allow for extra cooking time in the slow cooker.
