Description

This Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings recipe offers tender, flavorful wings slow-cooked to perfection and finished under the broiler for a crispy golden finish. Coated in a rich garlic butter sauce and topped with savory Parmesan cheese and fresh green onions, these wings are ideal for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or game day snack with minimal hands-on time.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Wings

  • 4 lb Chicken wings (separated into flats and drumettes)
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 6 cloves Garlic (minced)

Garnish

  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
  • Green onions (or chives, optional; sliced thinly for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Place the chicken wings in the bottom of a slow cooker. Season evenly with sea salt and black pepper, mixing well to coat all pieces uniformly.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl or saucepan, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Optionally, melt the butter over low heat on the stove and sauté the garlic for about 1 minute before removing from heat to intensify garlic flavor.
  3. Coat the Chicken Wings: Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the seasoned wings in the slow cooker. Stir gently to fully coat every wing with the garlic butter sauce.
  4. Slow Cook: Set the slow cooker to High and cook the wings for 2.5 to 3 hours, or use the Low setting and cook for 5 to 6 hours. The wings should become tender and nearly fall off the bone once done.
  5. Crisp in the Oven: Near the end of cooking, preheat your oven to the Broil setting. Prepare a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or greased foil. Arrange the slow-cooked wings in a single layer and broil for 5 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  6. Add Parmesan: Remove the wings from the oven and generously sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top. Return the wings under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish wings with fresh sliced green onions or chives if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the rich garlic Parmesan flavor and crispy texture.

Notes

  • Serving Size: About 5 wings, which is approximately 1/8 of the recipe.
  • Flavor Variations: Customize with buffalo sauce, BBQ sauce, teriyaki, or dry seasonings like paprika and chili flakes for different twists.
  • Storage: Keep leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze wings up to 3 months. Freeze on a sheet pan initially to prevent sticking, then transfer to freezer-safe bags.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Cook wings fully in slow cooker, refrigerate, and broil fresh when ready to serve for maximum crispiness.
  • Using Frozen Wings: Add extra cooking time in the slow cooker if starting from frozen wings.
