Notes
- Pat the wings dry. Don't skip this step. It helps to remove any extra moisture so that the wings can absorb the seasonings better.
- Check the internal temperature. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal chicken wings reaches 165 degrees F. Be sure to stick the thermometer in the meat and not by the bone.
- Broil for crispy skin. If you like a crispy skin, make sure to broil the chicken wings after they cook in the slow cooker.
