Crock Pot Party Wings
Full of flavor and exploding with spiciness, these Crock Pot Party Wings are the quintessential appetizer for any party, holiday, or potluck. I love making appetizers because I feel you can have a lot of fun with them. I mean how can you ever go wrong with crock pot goodness?
It is the one way to infuse tons of rich bold flavor without having to actually marinate your food over night. These Crock Pot Party Wings start off in the oven on high broil and are seasoned with garlic salt and pepper. Once they have been broiled you place them in a 5-6 quart crock pot and douse them with BBQ sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, brown sugar and a few other spices. They cook up so nice and tender and will literally melt in your mouth.
Appetizers for the most part are the first line of defense in hosting a party and setting the tone for the meal to come. They undoubtably get eaten up quickly because finger food allows you the ability to eat and socialize at the same time. These Party Wings have an immense sweet and spicy flavor that will rock your socks.

How do you make Party Wings?
- Set your oven to High broil. Place the party wings in a large bowl and season with garlic salt and pepper. Mix to coat both sides and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Broil each side for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Pour wings into a 5-6 quart crock pot.
- In a large bowl combine BBQ sauce, brown sugar, hot sauce, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Pour over wings and gently stir to coat. Cook on low for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Stir and garnish with sliced jalapeños, green onions, and sesame seeds.
What does the broil setting do?
- Broiling the party wings before placing them in the crock pot helps to cook them slightly so the once you transfer them to the crock pot they will only take a few hours to cook.
- Wings tend to take longer to cook in a crock pot, so broiling them first cuts down on the cooking time.
