FAQ

Can I use frozen wings?
Yes—add 30–45 minutes of cook time, but thawing first gives better texture.

Should I remove the wing tips?
You can, but it’s optional; leaving them on doesn’t affect cooking.

Can I thicken the sauce?
Pour the leftover sauce into a saucepan and simmer until reduced.

Can I make these ahead?
Yes—cook fully, refrigerate, and reheat under the broiler to crisp them again.

Do they get crispy in the crockpot?
No, crockpots don’t crisp food; broiling at the end adds that texture.
