Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Wings
Sunday, 04 February 2018 by Julie Lieber
I am always in search of the best wings and these slow BBQ cooker wings are unexpectedly delicious and crispy! The cook for a number of hours in the slow cooker, which makes them incredibly tender on the inside, and then you grill them for 5 minutes on each side and when they come off, coat them in a pungent BBQ sauce. They come have tons of flavor with an amazingly crunchy exterior. Eat these at your superbowl party or any weeknight! (Adapted from America’s Test Kitchen, Slow Cooker)

And there you have it –homemade chicken nuggets that you can pull out of your freezer whenever you need them!
