This Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Wings recipe delivers tender, flavorful wings cooked low and slow in a homemade spicy Buffalo sauce. Perfect for game day or casual gatherings, these wings are easy to make and can be crisped under the broiler for the perfect finish.

Ingredients

Buffalo Sauce

  • 1/2 cup hot pepper sauce (e.g., Frank’s)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Chicken

  • 2 pounds chicken wing sections, fresh or frozen

Instructions

  1. Prepare Buffalo Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the hot pepper sauce, unsalted butter, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts and all the ingredients are thoroughly combined into a smooth sauce.
  2. Coat Chicken Wings: Place the chicken wing sections into the Crockpot. Pour the prepared Buffalo sauce over the wings, then gently stir to coat the wings evenly with the sauce.
  3. Cook Wings: Cover the Crockpot and cook on the low setting for 3 to 4 hours, or until the chicken wings are tender and fully cooked through.
  4. Broil for Crispiness: For crispy wings, preheat your oven broiler. Transfer the cooked wings to a baking sheet and broil them for 2 to 4 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Serve: Serve the Buffalo chicken wings hot with your favorite dips such as ranch dressing or blue cheese, along with side dishes like celery sticks or coleslaw for a classic combo.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen chicken wings depending on availability; cooking time remains the same.
  • If you prefer less spicy wings, reduce the amount of hot pepper sauce or substitute with a milder hot sauce.
  • Broiling is optional but recommended for adding crispiness to the wings after slow cooking.
  • Ensure the wings are fully cooked by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
