1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. If using whole wings, trim and separate into drumettes and flats.
2
Place wings in a slow cooker. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; toss to coat evenly.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce and melted butter. Pour over the wings and toss gently to coat.
4
Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or on low for 4 to 5 hours, until the wings are tender and fully cooked.
5
(Optional for crispy skin) Preheat broiler. Transfer wings to a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 2-3 minutes per side until slightly crisp and golden.
6
Place wings in a bowl, drizzle with extra buffalo sauce if desired, and toss to coat. Serve hot, garnished with parsley, alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing and veggie sticks.
