Ingredients

Scale

Buffalo Sauce

  • 2/3 cup Frank’s Red Hot pepper sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Chicken Wings

  • 4 pounds chicken wings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buffalo Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine Frank’s Red Hot pepper sauce, unsalted butter, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk the ingredients together over medium heat until the sauce is fully combined and starts to bubble gently, then remove from heat.
  2. Arrange Chicken Wings: Place the chicken wings evenly in the slow cooker, ensuring they are spread out to allow even cooking.
  3. Combine and Cook: Pour the prepared buffalo sauce over the wings in the slow cooker, making sure they are thoroughly coated. Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
  4. Slow Cook the Wings: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook the wings for 4 to 5 hours until they are tender and fully cooked through.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the wings and serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces and accompaniments, such as celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  • For crispier wings, you can broil them in the oven for 3-5 minutes after slow cooking.
  • If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the amount of hot sauce used.
  • Make sure not to overfill the slow cooker to allow even cooking.
  • You can double the sauce ingredients if you like extra sauce on your wings.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in an oven or air fryer for best results.
