Healthy Crockpot BBQ Wings! All the spicy flavor you love in chicken wings packed in a healthy, low sugar BBQ sauce. The perfect game day appetizer, party favor, or dinner for healthy eaters!
Last day of January! How are we here already??? You know what that means? Super Bowl Sunday this weekend! Not that I’m a huge Super Bowl fan. I enjoy the the half time show more than the game. Frankly, I’m so tired of watching the Patriots in the Super Bowl year after year.
We will be cheering on the Eagles (the guy’s team) this weekend praying they will win. Sorry, if you’re a Brady or NE fan but it’s taken the fun out of it for me seeing the same team play and win for years. Time for change!
I plan on making these Healthy Crockpot barbecue wings on game day. Everyone loves wings and they’re always a big hit. The secret to making these slow cooker wings the best wings? Broiling the wings before slow cooking them!
That’s exactly what I did with this easy bbq wing recipe and it made the wings taste incredible! Then you toss them in the crockpot and slow cook them until the meat falls off the bones. They get super juicy and tender!
For the sauce, I combined a few ingredients with my no sugar BBQ sauce. The sauce I used in crock pot barbecue chicken – my most popular chicken recipe!
I also put it in my bbq salmon recipe, bbq meatballs recipe and in bbq chicken salad! I swear I could put that sauce on anything and make it taste good. Happy game watching!

I love these wings!!! I made a double batch and took them to a church small group. I was so bummed because I had NONE left over to take home! Everyone commented on how good they were.
Oh good! I’m glad you liked them.
where does it say what the serving size is? i need to know how many wings to eat per serving so i don’t over do it. haven’t seen serving sizes on any other recipes either unless i’m missing it somewhere
Hi! All recipes say 1 serving and the number of servings in the recipe card. For example, if it says 1 serving and there are 4 servings then 1/4 of the recipe is a serving. The other way to look at it is if there is 1 lb. of chicken then you eat 1/4 lb. If I have the exact cup size for the serving I add it to the notes. I don’t count the exact number of wings as they will vary in size.
Thank you
I love making wings in the slow cooker! I love the addition of hot sauce in this recipe!
I love hot sauce on everything.
