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 garlic Parm brussels sprouts, 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.

Delicious but 7 hours too long
They were certainly tender and fell off the bone so even under broiler didn’t help make them finger food

We’re sorry this recipe wasn’t quite to your liking, Susan!
I am going to try this soon and was wondering if you could put them under the broiler for a few minutes when they’re done to crisp them up. Has anyone tried that???
I am wondering the same. I was thinking broiler or possibly grill. I may try that. I like crispy wings. But the sauce sounds great!
My husband and son love wings so this will be a fun new twist for me to try. Pinning to make soon!
Awesome!! Hope you love these :)
Can you substitute honey for the corn syrup?
Tried these wings for game night and they were a BIG hit!
It also freed up the oven for other appetizers
