Crispy Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
Cooking chicken wings in a slow cooker doesn’t lead to the crispiest result, but I have a trick to fix that! I like to finish them off in the oven for just a couple of minutes, to give them that crispy bite.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. When the garlic parm wings are done in the crock pot, arrange them in a single layer on the sheet. Place them in the oven under the broiler for just a few minutes (2-5 minutes). This is a great way to reheat leftover wings as well. Warm them up then broil to finish them!
If you don’t want to take the extra step though, they still taste amazing without the baking. That parmesan garlic wing sauce is just so good either way.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover crockpot garlic parmesan wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy.
How to Freeze
Freeze crockpot garlic parmesan chicken wings in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serving Suggestions
These crockpot garlic parm wings make a great appetizer for parties, game days, and BBQs. They are easy to serve along with other apps, snacks, dips, and finger foods, or as part of a chicken wings buffet with all your favorite flavors.
If you want to eat them as a meal, add these parmesan potato wedges, some simple veggies, or potato salad.
And of course, you can’t forget the dipping sauce! Serve them with hot sauce, ranch dressing, blue cheese, or buffalo sauce.
You can use bone-in or boneless chicken wings for this recipe. And you can use fresh or frozen (just thaw frozen wings before cooking).
These wings need 3-4 hours to cook on the high setting. If you prefer to cook on LOW, allow 7 hours to fully cook.
If you don’t have corn syrup in your pantry, or just don’t want to use it, there are a few ingredients you can use instead. Substitute it for honey, light molasses, or agave.

How to Make Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings Step by Step
Make the Sauce: Whisk together 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 cup of light mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of corn syrup, 4 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes, plus kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste in a large bowl.
Add the Wings: Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray and add half of the sauce to the bottom. Add 2 pounds of bone-in or boneless chicken wings and stir to coat.
Cook the Wings: Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for about 7 hours.
Add More Sauce: Pour on the remaining sauce and cook for another 15 minutes. Serve hot with buffalo sauce for dipping if desired.
These sound so awesome! I’d say the best way to get any crisp on is to pull them out before you put the remaining sauce on and do that step on a pan so you can toss them under the broiler for that 15 minutes (maybe more) so you get that remaining layer really set on your chicken. You could do a quick pan fry just to brown them, too, before you put them in the crockpot and they should help get that texture.
Such good ideas Allie, THANK YOU!! I’m going to try that method next time!!
OMG these look heavenly. I love those wings from “B-Dubs.” ;) Gotta try these!

Obviously I am going to ask you about your props. That round cooling rack.. it doesn’t look like the same one you bought from crate and barrel.. :) <3
HA!!! It’s not, this one was actually about $3 from an antique store by my house. It’s super flimsy but I love it!
