Yield

Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot®)
- ½ cup butter
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 (4 pound) frozen chicken wing sections, thawed
- ½ cup butter
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot®)
Instructions for Slow Cooker Chicken Wings
- Start by placing the thawed chicken wings in the slow cooker.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the first bottle of hot pepper sauce with ½ cup of butter.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir over medium heat until the mixture is thoroughly combined and the butter has melted.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken wings in the slow cooker, ensuring all the wings are evenly coated.
- Cover and cook the wings on low setting for about 4 hours or until they are tender and cooked through.
- After 4 hours, in another saucepan, heat the remaining ½ cup of butter with the second bottle of hot pepper sauce. Stir until the butter is melted.
- Drizzle the new sauce mixture over the cooked wings for that extra heat kick and flavor.
- Serve the wings hot alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Healthier Cooking Option
For a healthier version, consider baking the wings in the oven at 375°F (190°C) instead of using the additional butter and sauce for finishing. This can keep the wings crispy while reducing the fat content.
