Notes

Using Frozen Wings: You can cook frozen wings in the crock pot. They will release a lot more liquid than fresh ones which will dilute the BBQ sauce. When they are done, the liquid will be at the bottom so go ahead and discard it, add more BBQ sauce and then place the wings under the broiler.

Rub and Sauce: I love my homemade rub, but when I am in a hurry sometimes I use premade chicken wing seasoning. Look for it at the store if you want a shortcut. We also like to try different BBQ sauces to change the flavor.

Serving Tip: You can wash out the crock pot and then place the wings back inside and keep them on warm during your party.

Add a Dipping Sauce! We love to dunk our wings in ranch dip or blue cheese dressing! Or add some more BBQ sauce on the side.
