Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings
Sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Wings: Place the chicken wings in the crockpot and season them evenly with salt and pepper.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to create a flavorful sauce.
- Cook the Wings: Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the seasoned chicken wings in the crockpot. Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for 5 hours or on high heat for 3 hours until the wings are fully cooked and tender.
- Optional Broiling for Crispiness: To make the wings extra crispy, preheat your oven’s broiler. Transfer the cooked wings to a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove the crispy wings from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot for an irresistible meal or appetizer.
Notes
- For even crispier wings, you can pat the wings dry before cooking and optionally finish with a quick air fry or oven bake instead of broil.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference; add a bit more for a stronger garlic taste.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep; cooked wings can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- To keep the recipe dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil and omit Parmesan or use a dairy-free cheese alternative, although this will alter the flavor profile.
