Garlic Parmesan Wings (Crock Pot Chicken Wings)
These garlic parmesan wings are our favorite crock pot chicken wings recipe. The sauce is perfect, and making chicken wings in a slow cooker is so easy. YES for garlic parm wings!
Before I learned how to cook, Pat and I were regulars at Buffalo Wild Wings. Not only did we love hopping over for an easy dinner, but if we had a potluck to attend…we would swing by BWW on the way and show up to the party with wings made by someone else…
Our very favorite flavor was the garlic parmesan wing sauce. It’s not too spicy and it’s loved by everyone! Now I can make garlic parmesan wings all on my own (with the help of a slow cooker) to bring to parties. They are the perfect little appetizer. This crock pot chicken wings recipe is truly a lifesaver!
Whether you’re making some tasty wings for your own game day party, to bring to a potluck, or just for a delicious dinner at home, these garlic parm wings are exactly what you need! Pair them with your fave dipping sauce and get to eating!
This Crock Pot Chicken Wings recipe is about to be your new go-to wings recipe. Making wings in a slow cooker? What could be easier!
Slow Cooker Chicken Wings
These slow cooker chicken wings are sent from heaven. Making crock pot wings is so easy, and you end up with perfectly delicious wings every time. This is the best way to make chicken wings for game day or any big party. No need to worry about them in the oven, because they’re just cooking away in the crockpot.
There are a lot of great crock pot chicken wing recipes out there, but I just HAD to try them with the garlic parmesan wing sauce. It’s my fave flavor, and they turned out so well!
Garlic Parm Wings
Garlic Parm Wings are the perfect appetizer for the Super Bowl, or for any game day or tailgating party. Let the wings cook in the crock pot, soaking up all that delicious wing sauce! Once they’re done, serve them with alllll the dipping sauces. You can never go wrong with a classic like blue cheese or ranch, and of course adding a bit of homemade buffalo sauce for dipping adds even more spicy flavor.
Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce
I’ve always loved the garlic parmesan wing sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings. If you’ve ever tasted it, then you know how good it is! It’s not too hot, it’s just full of flavor. So making my own version of that parmesan garlic sauce for chicken wings at home was a must. Turns out it made the perfect crock pot wings!
Garlic Parmesan Sauce Ingredients:
- Garlic
- Olive Oil
- Light Mayonnaise
- Corn Syrup
- Parmesan Cheese
- Lemon Juice
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Oregano
- Basil
- Red Pepper Flakes
Just throw everything into the slow cooker and let the wings cook with the sauce!
How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Wings
These slow cooker garlic parmesan wings are SO easy to make. That’s what I love about crock pot chicken wing recipes. No stress, no hassle, just let the wings cook in a slow cooker and they’re ready to eat!
How to make wings in a slow cooker:
- Whisk all of the garlic parmesan wing sauce ingredients (listed above) together in a mixing bowl.
- Spray the slow cooker, then fill it up with about half of the garlic parm sauce.
- Place the chicken wings in and stir it up to coat them in the sauce.
- Cook on the high setting for 3-4 hours, OR on the low setting for 7 hours.
- At the end, pour the remaining sauce in and let them cook another 15 minutes.
So here is the one drawback to making chicken wings in a slow cooker…they never get quite as crispy as baked or fried wings. Unfortunately, I think that’s just the way things are. While making crock pot wings is overall much easier, there is a trade off.
That being said, we still love them exactly as they are. The amazing flavor of these garlic parm wings is undeniable! I mean, I ate about 25 of them, so there are no complaints from me.
The good news is that there is a solution! You can make these crock pot chicken wings a little bit crispier by baking them before putting them in the slow cooker. Follow package instructions and get them just a little bit brown, then follow the rest of the directions in the recipe card below.
But let me just say one more time, they are still SO GOOD without the pre-baking. I know some people just prefer a crispier texture to their wings. If that’s you, you might like our Baked Buffalo Wings better.
You are going to LOVE these garlic parm slow cooker wings so much. Bring them to your next potluck, party, or just eat them at home by yourself. They are SO good.
See the recipe card below for details on how to make Crock Pot Chicken Wings. Enjoy!

My husband and son love wings so this will be a fun new twist for me to try. Pinning to make soon!
Can you substitute honey for the corn syrup?
Tried these wings for game night and they were a BIG hit!
It also freed up the oven for other appetizers

Did you use boneless or wings
You have to bake them first to brow a little and to reduce the juices. Did this and turned out very good
I’m making these as I type this and am seeing the same issue with it having too much liquid. I’m wondering if it’s because my wings were ice glazed. Rachel, did you use frozen, ice glazed chicken as well?
Darn! I hope it still tasted good!!
I had same issue with my sauce turning into broth. I’m going to have to drain it and most likely add the rest to the top.
Thank you!
It can work either way! Enjoy :)
I’m excited to try this recipe! Should the wings be thawed or frozen?
I tried to save your Creamy Chicken soup & kept getting the Easy baked chicken Tacos recipe. I would love to have the Creamy Chicken Soup if possible.
Thanks
Hey Shabana, I’m not sure what a good sub would be. The corn syrup helps with the consistency of the sauce. You might try equal parts sugar and water, melted together. Hope that helps!
i do not have corn syrup. can i skip? or whats the substitute? pls reply asap
Hmmm…no that didn’t happen when I made them. In fact mine ended up needing even a bit more sauce. I’m so sorry they weren’t just right for you, I hate hearing that! But I do appreciate you giving me the feedback, it helps a lot!
I made these today but following the first cook of 3-4 hours on high, the wings were swimming in broth and no longer covered in sauce (the sauce had “melted” into this broth). I drained the sauce, added the second coat and finished w/ the 15 min follow up. I was wondering if you had this issue? There was just so much broth! They ended up tasting okay but a little may-o-y for my tastes and definitely not as pretty as yours.
It’s a local wing sauce/buffalo sauce from a restaurant called Sybergs…it’s our favorite!
What is the dipping sauce you show?
Thanks Stefanie! Yes, that’s one of my favorite sauces from a place here in STL called Sybergs. It’s their creamy buffalo sauce. I wish I had the recipe!!
Hi! Thanks for posting this recipe- looks great! However, my boyfriend and I are dying to know what the sauce is you have pictured with the wings. Looks delicious! Thanks!
Did you put the wings in straight from the freezer or thaw them first?
Hey Andi, two pounds of wings is usually about 16-22 wings depending on size. I’m not sure how many you would want per person but I hope that helps! Thanks so much for stopping by :)
The recipe says it serves 4. How many chicken wings would that be per person? I’m looking to do these for a cocktail party and would want to do less per person.
I think it would work just fine. Since I didn’t make it that way I’m not 100% sure. Hope you love the recipe!
How would this work with boneless skinless unbreaded chicken breast? Or even breast strips?
No, I bought boneless skinless wings that weren’t altered in any way other than cut. You could also use tradition bone-in wings. Hope you love the recipe!
You don’t buy the chicken prepared already right?
Best comment ever!! So glad you loved them :) :)
Just made these for dinner tonight for the MLB playoffs! They were incredible! Thank you for the recipe! Definitely will be making these again!
Awesome, hope you love them Matt! Thanks for stopping by!
Definitely have to try these. I love the ones you can get from Papa Johns, but I’m sure these will be healthier and cheaper.
Such good ideas Allie, THANK YOU!! I’m going to try that method next time!!
These sound so awesome! I’d say the best way to get any crisp on is to pull them out before you put the remaining sauce on and do that step on a pan so you can toss them under the broiler for that 15 minutes (maybe more) so you get that remaining layer really set on your chicken. You could do a quick pan fry just to brown them, too, before you put them in the crockpot and they should help get that texture.
Everytime I go there my bank account gets abused!!! Hope you found lots of great stuff :)
Thans Michelle!!
OMG these look heavenly. I love those wings from “B-Dubs.” ;) Gotta try these!
Well I love it!! I was secretly hoping it was another C&B find because I’m going there this weekend!
HA!!! It’s not, this one was actually about $3 from an antique store by my house. It’s super flimsy but I love it!
Obviously I am going to ask you about your props. That round cooling rack.. it doesn’t look like the same one you bought from crate and barrel.. :) <3
Thanks so much Kacey!!
Thanks Meg!
Oh I can’t handle the Smoke your pants off hot ones…tell your husband bravo!!
Thanks so much Janette!
Thanks so much girl!!
HA!!!
Yeah I’m slightly addicted lol!
Garlic Parmesan is hands down my favorite! I get them all the time at BWW or Wing Stop but not anymore! LOVE!
My husband is always begging me to make wings …. and most of the time I just ignore him! haha So bad. He would LOVEEE these!
I want to inhale all of these wings! What could be better than garlic parm wings in the slow cooker?! LOVE IT!!
I had no idea you could make wings in the slow cooker, that’s pretty genius and these look really good.
The parmesan wings are my absolute favorite at BWW! My husband prefers the smoke your pants off hot ones, but he also likes to steal these from mine. Now I can make them at home! Great pics,btw!
Whoa girl…even with these boneless and effortless wing, I would be done to devouring them! And genius idea to pick up these before a potluck…never thought to do that! Pinned!
I never even thought to make chicken wings in the slow cooker! I am always making them in the oven worrying if they will turn out crispy or not! Cannot wait to give this cooking method a try as your wings turned out beautiful!
