Ingredients

1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 pounds chicken wings fresh or frozen

For the Honey BBQ Wing Sauce

1 cup BBQ sauce
½ cup honey

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix.
Place the chicken wings (frozen) in the crockpot and sprinkle with the seasoning mix, stirring to get the winds coated evenly on all sides.
Place the lid on, and cook frozen wings on high for 3.5-4.5 hours, or low for 4.5-5.5 hours. Or cook fresh wings 3-4 hours on high, or 4-5 hours on low.
Once done, preheat the oven to 425˚F, remove the wings from the crockpot and place in a large bowl.
Tip: The drier the wings are the better the sauce will stick, so try to remove as much of the liquid as possible when transferring them into the bowl.
To make the BBQ wing sauce, whisk together the BBQ sauce and honey, then pour them over the wings and toss them to coat.
Lay the wings on a baking sheet and cook in the oven on the top rack for 15-18 minutes. Then, brush with additional sauce from the bowl you mixed the wings in and serve hot.

Notes

4 pounds of wings = about 20-24 wings
