Equipment
- Whisk
- Wooden Spoon
- Oven
- Grater
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 pounds chicken wings fresh or frozen
- 0.5 cup salted butter
- 0.33 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 4 cloves garlic pressed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper. Mix.
- Place the chicken wings in the crockpot and sprinkle with the seasoning mix, stirring to get the wings coated evenly on all sides.
- Place the lid on, and cook on high for three to four hours, or low for five to six hours.
- Once done, preheat the oven to 425˚F, remove the wings from the crockpot and place in a large bowl. Tip: The drier the wings are the better the sauce will stick, so try to remove as much of the liquid as possible when transferring them into the bowl.
- Whisk together the butter, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and garlic, then pour them over the wings and toss them to coat.
- Lay the wings on a baking sheet and cook in the oven on the top rack for fifteen to eighteen minutes. Then, brush with additional sauce from the bowl you mixed the wings in and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
