Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
4 lb Chicken wings (separated into flats and drumettes)
1 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/2 cup Butter (melted)
6 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
Green onions (or chives; optional; sliced thinly for garnish)
Directions:
Place the chicken wings in the bottom of a slow cooker. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl or saucepan, stir together the melted butter and minced garlic. You can melt it on the stove or in the microwave. If melting on the stove, saute the garlic for about a minute before removing from heat.
Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken wings. Stir to coat.
Cook the wings in the slow cooker on High for 3 hours.
Toward the end, preheat the oven to Broil. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and grease well. (Wings will probably stick anyway, but it helps.)
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the pan. Broil for about 5 minutes on each side, until crispy and golden.
Remove the garlic chicken wings from the oven. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven for 1-2 minutes, until melted.
Garnish with green onions or chives, if desired.
Servings: 8
Per serving: 5 chicken wing pieces (drumettes and flats counted separately)
