Four hours in the slow cooker makes these hot wings beautifully tender; a further 30 minutes in a hot oven gets them crisp and brown. Serve these wings before the main event as a substantial game-day snack, or as the centerpiece of a meal, alongside a big crunchy salad to keep things cool.

We recommend serving with a strong cocktail, such as our Long Island Iced Tea.

Tips for Wings and Chicken

Tip
How to Store Wings
For wings, follow the same rules as any other type of poultry. Ensure that chicken remains in its original packaging (which should be vacuum-sealed or tightly-wrapped) to prevent its juices from leaking. Raw chicken can last for up to three days in the refrigerator.

Tip
How to Freeze Wings
Thanks to being predominantly bone, frozen chicken wings have a particularly long shelf life. If stored properly, most can last up to nine months in the freezer. Fill a freezer bag halfway with chicken wings and rest the bag sideways to avoid the wings from touching. Once the wings are frozen, you can then turn the bag upright for optimal freezer storage space.

Tip
How to Store Chicken
Raw or cooked chicken can be stored in a refrigerator for a few days, though it’s important to prevent raw chicken juices from leaking and contaminating other foods. Ensure that chicken remains in its original packaging (which should be vacuum-sealed or tightly-wrapped) until it is ready to be cooked.

Tip
How to Freeze Chicken
While freezing will make your chicken less tender and juicy, it is the perfect way to store the family-sized pack you bought at Costco last weekend. Remove the chicken from its original packaging and rewrap it tightly using aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or freezer paper. Double wrap if you are planning to store the chicken for more than two months. Ground chicken can last up to three months in the freezer, while chicken pieces can last up to nine.

Tip
How to Thaw Chicken
You should never thaw chicken at room temperature, as it is highly susceptible to bacteria growth. Frozen chicken should either be thawed in the microwave, in the refrigerator, or in cold water (which should be changed every 30 minutes).

Instructions

  1. 1Melt the butter and add it to the crock of your slow cooker along with the oregano, onion and garlic powders, soy sauce, tomato paste, liquid smoke, and hot sauce. Whisk everything together to form a sauce.
  2. 2Add the wings to the crock and stir to coat them with the sauce. Cover the crock and set the slow cooker to high. Cook for 4 hours.
  3. 3Just before the wings are done, heat the oven to 400°F and get out 2 baking sheets. With tongs, remove the wings from the slow cooker and arrange in a single layer on the baking sheets.
  4. 4Place the wings in the hot oven and bake until they’re browned and the top surface is crisp, about 30 minutes.
  5. 5While the wings are baking, transfer the cooking liquid from the slow cooker to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
  6. 6Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Add the sauce and gently toss until the wings are evenly coated. Serve while hot.
