Ingredients
Wings
- 4 pounds frozen chicken wings
Sauce
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Dr Pepper soda
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare Wings: Place all frozen chicken wings directly into the slow cooker, arranging them evenly for consistent cooking.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, minced garlic, BBQ sauce, Dr Pepper, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch until well blended to create the sauce mixture.
- Reserve Sauce: Set aside 1/4 cup of the sauce mixture for glazing later if desired.
- Pour Sauce Over Wings: Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the wings in the slow cooker, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the wings are tender and cooked through.
- Optional Broil for Glaze: For a glossy finish, place the cooked wings on a foil-lined baking sheet, brush them with the reserved sauce, and broil on high heat until the wings develop a shiny, caramelized glaze.
- Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the wings for a fresh, colorful touch if desired.
- Serve: Serve the wings hot and enjoy as a delicious appetizer or main dish.
