These zesty slow-cooker chicken wings are a delightful twist on a classic favorite, perfect for any gathering or casual dinner.
Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking sheet with foil, spraying it with cooking spray.
Using foil makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Ensure the wings are not overlapping for even cooking.
Sprinkle the wings with salt and pepper.
Season both sides of the wings for maximum flavor.
Broil the wings for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown.
Keep an eye on the wings to prevent burning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Transfer the broiled wings to the slow-cooker and pour the sauce over them.
Ensure the wings are evenly coated with the sauce.
Cook the wings in the slow-cooker on high for 2.5 hours or on low for 4-5 hours.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Serve the wings hot with your favorite sides, such as fries or a fresh salad.
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh touch.
