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.

I tried to save your Creamy Chicken soup & kept getting the Easy baked chicken Tacos recipe. I would love to have the Creamy Chicken Soup if possible.
Thanks
I made these today but following the first cook of 3-4 hours on high, the wings were swimming in broth and no longer covered in sauce (the sauce had “melted” into this broth). I drained the sauce, added the second coat and finished w/ the 15 min follow up. I was wondering if you had this issue? There was just so much broth! They ended up tasting okay but a little may-o-y for my tastes and definitely not as pretty as yours.
I’m making these as I type this and am seeing the same issue with it having too much liquid. I’m wondering if it’s because my wings were ice glazed. Rachel, did you use frozen, ice glazed chicken as well?
Did you use boneless or wings
What is the dipping sauce you show?
Hi! Thanks for posting this recipe- looks great! However, my boyfriend and I are dying to know what the sauce is you have pictured with the wings. Looks delicious! Thanks!
Did you put the wings in straight from the freezer or thaw them first?
The recipe says it serves 4. How many chicken wings would that be per person? I’m looking to do these for a cocktail party and would want to do less per person.
How would this work with boneless skinless unbreaded chicken breast? Or even breast strips?
i do not have corn syrup. can i skip? or whats the substitute? pls reply asap
You don’t buy the chicken prepared already right?
Just made these for dinner tonight for the MLB playoffs! They were incredible! Thank you for the recipe! Definitely will be making these again!
Best comment ever!! So glad you loved them :) :)
Definitely have to try these. I love the ones you can get from Papa Johns, but I’m sure these will be healthier and cheaper.
Awesome, hope you love them Matt! Thanks for stopping by!
