Thank you for letting me know John. I don't have a crockpot that's why I
wanted to know.

 

Kind regards,

Rosario

I honestly don't know, but I wouldn't try it.  Even with an oven set to 200
degrees, often as low as an oven can go, it still wouldn't mimic the same
cooking environment as a crockpot, in part because the temperature is
slightly higher than in most slow cookers, and in part because ovens cycle
on and off while they cook.  A slow cooker does not.  If you don't have a
slow cooker at all and you want to make wings, your best bet is to steam the
wings for 10 to 15 minutes, let them cool and dry off, then roast them for
about 30 to 40 minutes, turning half way through the cooking time, then
drenching them in sauce before serving.  The results aren't the same as for
wings that are fried, but they're good.   Jon

Hi John, Your recipe sounds yummy! Do you know if you can do it in the oven
instead of the  slow cooker?

OK everyone:  At last, here is the recipe for the hot wings that has sparked
so much discussion on this list over the past month.  The recipe comes from
the "Slow Cooker Revolution" cookbook published by America's Test Kitchen.
When I made these for the first time back on Christmas Day, I remember
thinking that I'd have liked a bit more sauce, and also that I'd have liked
them to be a bit more crispy.  That translates to a bit more time under the
broiler.  I might increase the amount of sauce to 1 1/4 cups and add another
tablespoon of butter.  I'd use the same amount of sauce for the initial
cooking, then use the rest for the broiling step.  The recipe that follows
is exactly how it appears in the book.   Jon

 

 

Fiery Hot Wings (a.k.a. Buffalo Wings for the slow cooker)

Yield:  6 servings (4 lbs. wings)

Prep Time:  10 minutes

Cook Time:  4 hours 20 minutes

 

 

Ingredients:

   1 cup hot sauce

   6 tablespoons butter, melted

   2 tablespoons brown sugar, divided

   1 tablespoon cider vinegar

   1 tablespoon sweet paprika

   2 teaspoons chili powder

   1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

   4 pounds chicken wings (flats and drummetts)

 

1.  Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat.  Whisk in hot sauce, 4
teaspoons sugar, and vinegar.  Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to slow cooker;
reserve remaining sauce separately.

 

2.  Mix paprika, chili powder, remaining 2 teaspoons sugar, cayenne, 1
teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper together then rub mixture evenly over
chicken; transfer to slow cooker.  Cover and cook until chicken is tender,
about 4 hours on low.

 

3.  Position oven rack 10 inches from broiler element and heat broiler.
Place wire rack in aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and coat with
vegetable oil spray.  Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet; discard
braising liquid.

 

4.  Brush chicken with half of remaining sauce and broil until lightly
charred and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.  Flip chicken over,  brush with
remaining sauce, and continue to broil until lightly charred and crisp on
second side, 5 to 10 minutes longer.  Serve.
