Slow Cooker Hot Wings & Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce

Slow Cooker Hot Wings & Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce
2 words friends- Hot. Wings. I’ve literally always been afraid to cook these puppies, from cutting them up to messing with a time honored tradition of perfectly cooked wings I have just stayed away from them.  Today I’m happy to tell you that making hot wings is not nearly as scary or hard as I once thought. This recipe is so easy, you make it in the crockpot and use just a few ingredients and bam you’ve got restaurant lookin’ wings on your hands! I used the new KC Masterpiece Fiery Habanero Honey Barbecue Sauce to create all the delicious flavor you expect from your wings and they turned out perfect!

So I purchased a package of whole wings, which was super intimidating but after watching THIS video I cut them up myself! Do you hear that? Thats me clapping for myself for not waiting until Matt got home to do it for me. 😉

This recipe has only a few ingredients yet has delicious sweet heat thanks to the KC Masterpiece sauce, if you don’t like heat try one of their other delicious sauces like the Kansas City Classic, its one of my all time favorite BBQ sauces. I made some delicious ribs with it last year, you can see the recipe HERE.

So to prep the wings after cutting them you sprinkle salt and garlic powder over them then melted butter.  Toss them so that everything is evenly coated and then bathe them in delicious BBQ Sauce.

When they are good and tender you pull them out and put them on a foil lined baking sheet and pop them in the oven under the broiler for just a few minutes to get them crispy and a little charred. YUM.
