Ingredients

  • Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liners
  • 4 pounds chicken wings or wingettes patted dry

For the Spice Rub

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

For the Honey BBQ Sauce

  • 3/4 cup Favorite BBQ Sauce
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch saved for the end of the recipe

Instructions

  • Line your slow cooker with a Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner.
  • Stir together the spice ingredients in a large bowl. Add the wings and toss to fully combine.
  • Add the rubbed wings to the slow cooker.
  • Using the same bowl, stir together all of the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss.
  • Cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for 3-4 hours until the wings reach an internal temperature of 165F.
  • Remove the wings from the slow cooker (leaving the sauce) and place in a large bowl. Stir the cornstarch into 2 tablespoons cold water, and then add to the sauce mixture inside the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  • Cook the sauce on high for 10 more minutes. Pour the thickened sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For crispy wings, drizzle the finished wings in a bit of the sauce and place in a single layer on a foil lined baking sheet. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until crispy to your liking.
