Tips for Perfect Crockpot BBQ Wings
- Wing Prep: Be sure to remove the tips and split the wings into drumettes and flats for even cooking.
- Sauce Selection: While Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce is recommended for its rich flavor, feel free to experiment with other brands or flavors depending on your preference.
- Cola Addition: The cola not only adds a unique sweetness but also helps to tenderize the wings as they cook, infusing them with flavor from the inside out.
- Cooking Time: Cooking on low heat for a longer time helps the flavors meld and tenderizes the chicken, but if you’re short on time, the high heat option works perfectly as well.
- Crispy Finish: Though optional, broiling the wings after slow cooking caramelizes the sauce and adds a delightful crispness that contrasts wonderfully with the tender meat.
