Step by step

Method

5 steps

1. 1

   Pat the wings dry and place them in the slow cooker. Melt the butter, then whisk in the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and garlic powder. Set aside ½ cup and pour the rest over the wings.

2. 2

   Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3–4 hours. The wings should be tender and at least 165°F, but stop before they begin falling apart.

3. 3

   Heat the oven to a low broil, about 450°F. Lift the wings onto a foil-lined sheet pan or a rack set over one, and brush them with the reserved sauce.

4. 4

   Broil for about 5 minutes, until the tops start to brown. Turn or brush again, then broil another 3–5 minutes until the skin looks crisp at the edges.

5. 5

   Serve with blue cheese dressing, celery, and carrot sticks. Spoon on extra sauce just before eating.
