Ingredients
Scale
- 3lbs chicken wings
- 1 cupBBQ sauce, divided
- 2 tspbrown sugar
- 1 tspsea salt
- 1 tspgarlic powder
- 1 tspsmoked paprika
- ½ tspchili powder
- 1 tsponion powder
- ⅛ tspground oregano
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all the rub ingredients. Make sure to break up any clumps in the brown sugar to ensure an even coating on the chicken wings.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This step is essential for the rub to adhere well. Season the raw chicken wings with the rub on both sides, massaging it into the skin for maximum flavor.
- Spray the bottom and sides of a crock pot with nonstick cooking spray. Place the seasoned chicken wings in the bottom. Pour ½ cup of BBQ sauce over the wings and toss to ensure they are fully coated. Cover the crock pot and cook onlow for 3-4 hoursorhigh for 1-2 hours, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once the wings are fully cooked, preheat your oven to the broil setting. Place the wings on a wire rack set over a lined baking sheet. Brush with the remaining ½ cup of BBQ sauce. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes until the sauce caramelizes, flipping halfway if desired.
Notes
Use Fresh Ingredients:Fresh garlic and onion can elevate the flavors in the rub if you prefer more intense aromas.
Get Creative with Sauces:Swap the BBQ sauce for buffalo sauce, honey mustard, or even teriyaki for a twist on the classic wings.
Marinate Overnight:If you have time, let the wings marinate overnight with the rub for an even deeper flavor.
