Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine salt, black pepper, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika to make the spice mix
- Place the fresh chicken wings in a large bowl and toss them until they're evenly coated with the spice mix. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the wings to a freezer bag, then refrigerate them overnight to marinate.
- The next day, transfer the marinated raw chicken wings to the slow cooker, add buffalo sauce to it and combine. Cook covered on low for 3-4 hours. Be sure not to overcook the wings; they should be tender but not falling apart.
- Preheat your oven's broiler. While the broiler is heating, line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Using tongs, transfer the cooked wings from the slow cooker to the prepared wire rack. They should be in a single layer. Brush them with buffalo sauce and then give the wings a quick broil for 5 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F using a meat thermometer.Note: Check the wings frequently during broiling to prevent burning
- Once the crockpot chicken wings are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the oven and toss or brush them again with buffalo sauce. Serve the bone-tender hot wings with your favorite choice of accompaniments such as blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, carrot sticks, celery sticks, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes
- Marinate Overnight: For maximum flavor, marinate the wings overnight to allow the spices to penetrate the wings.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: Ensure the wings are cooked to perfection by using a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Broil for Crispiness: Broiling the wings after slow cooking adds a crispy texture to the exterior, mimicking the traditional fried wings.
- Line the Baking Sheet: To make cleanup easier, line the baking sheet with aluminum foil before broiling the wings.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking rack to ensure even browning and crisping.
- Adjust Spice Level: Customize the spice level of the wings by adjusting the amount of buffalo sauce.
