Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons season salt
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (I used original recipe)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (I use Frank's original)
  • 3 tablespoons apple juice or apple cider
  • 4 pounds chicken wings, patted dry
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch ((optional for thickening the sauce))

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients. 
  • Pat the wings dry with paper towels. This step will help the spices to adhere to the wings when seasoning them.
  • Place the chicken wings in the slow cooker and sprinkle the spice mix over the wings. Toss to make sure the wings get well coated.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, hot sauce and juice until well combined.
  • Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until the chicken is well coated. Cover and cook for 2 hours on high or 3-4 hours on low.
  • After the cooking time is over, the chicken wings should be fully cooked and ready to eat. You can transfer the wings to a serving plate or bowl and keep warm. Follow instructions for thickening the sauce. For crispy wings follow the broiling instructions.
