Description
These Slow Cooker Buffalo Wings are the ultimate game day appetiser—juicy, fall-off-the-bone tender, and bursting with bold, tangy buffalo flavour. Made with just 4 ingredients and minimal effort, they’re the easiest crowd-pleasing wings you’ll ever serve, with an optional broil for that irresistible crispy finish.
Ingredients
-
2/3 cup (160ml) Frank’s Red Hot pepper sauce
-
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
-
1 1/2 tbsp (22ml) white vinegar
-
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
4 pounds (1.8kg) chicken wings
Instructions
-
In a small saucepan, combine hot sauce, butter, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce over medium heat. Whisk until butter melts and sauce bubbles slightly.
-
Place chicken wings in a slow cooker and pour the buffalo sauce over them, turning to coat evenly.
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours until wings are tender and infused with flavor.
-
Optional: For a crispy finish, transfer wings to a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes until golden.
-
Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing, celery, and carrot sticks. Extra buffalo sauce for dipping is highly encouraged.
Notes
For crispier wings, don’t skip the broiling step.
Adjust heat level by using a milder sauce or adding a splash of honey.
Always use fresh or thawed wings for the best texture.
You can double the recipe, ensuring your slow cooker isn’t overcrowded.
Reserve extra sauce to brush on after broiling for extra sauciness.
