These slow cooker honey BBQ chicken wings are a delightful twist on a classic favorite. Perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in.
Preheat your broiler to high.
Broiling the wings before slow cooking helps to lock in the juices and adds a nice charred flavor.
Cut off and discard the wing tips, then separate each wing into two sections at the joint.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts, ensuring even cooking.
Place the chicken wings on the broiler pan and broil for 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
Keep an eye on the wings to prevent over-browning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the broiled chicken wings to the slow cooker and pour the sauce over them.
Ensure the wings are evenly coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1.5-2 hours.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra treat.
