Why We Love This Crockpot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wing Recipe
These garlic parmesan wings are our favorite crockpot chicken wings recipe . They taste just like your favorites from Buffalo Wild Wings or Wingstop , but they’re homemade! The garlic parmesan wing sauce is so perfect. It’s creamy and rich in flavor, and simple to make.
- Easy. Cooking chicken wings in a crockpot means this recipe is all hands-off and super easy to make.
- Flavorful: The garlic parmesan wing sauce adds so much flavor to these wings. They are unbelievably delicious!
- Game Day Favorite. These are the perfect appetizer to serve on game day. Let them cook, then serve and eat without interrupting game time.
Crispy Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
Cooking chicken wings in a slow cooker doesn’t lead to the crispiest result, but I have a trick to fix that! I like to finish them off in the oven for just a couple of minutes, to give them that crispy bite.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. When the garlic parm wings are done in the crock pot, arrange them in a single layer on the sheet. Place them in the oven under the broiler for just a few minutes (2-5 minutes). This is a great way to reheat leftover wings as well. Warm them up then broil to finish them!
If you don’t want to take the extra step though, they still taste amazing without the baking. That parmesan garlic wing sauce is just so good either way.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover crockpot garlic parmesan wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy.
How to Freeze
Freeze crockpot garlic parmesan chicken wings in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serving Suggestions
These crockpot garlic parm wings make a great appetizer for parties, game days, and BBQs. They are easy to serve along with other apps, snacks, dips, and finger foods, or as part of a chicken wings buffet with all your favorite flavors.
If you want to eat them as a meal, add these parmesan potato wedges , some garlic Parm brussels sprouts , or potato salad .
And of course, you can’t forget the dipping sauce! Serve them with hot sauce, ranch dressing , blue cheese, or buffalo sauce .
You can use bone-in or boneless chicken wings for this recipe. And you can use fresh or frozen (just thaw frozen wings before cooking).
These wings need 3-4 hours to cook on the high setting. If you prefer to cook on LOW, allow 7 hours to fully cook.
If you don’t have corn syrup in your pantry, or just don’t want to use it, there are a few ingredients you can use instead. Substitute it for honey, light molasses, or agave.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
