These Crockpot Buffalo Wings are tender, juicy, and packed with spicy buffalo flavor, perfect for an easy game day snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley or celery sticks for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken wings in the crockpot in an even layer.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the hot sauce, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper, stirring until combined.
  3. Pour the buffalo sauce evenly over the wings in the crockpot, tossing to coat.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until wings are cooked through and tender.
  5. For crispier wings, place cooked wings on a baking sheet and broil for 3–5 minutes per side until skin is crispy.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley or alongside celery sticks and blue cheese dressing if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy wings, you can finish them under the broiler for a few minutes after slow cooking. Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for a classic combination.
