Cris here. It was a sweet, sweet day when my family figured out that we could eat at Buffalo Wild Wings while eating low carb! So it wasn’t before long we got to brainstorming how to make those delicious wings at home! We are huge fans of the Salt and Vinegar, Lemon Pepper and Buffalo Mild flavors, so we were thrilled to learn that you can purchase the same seasonings they use in the restaurant! So I grabbed a few bottles and got to cRockin’.

This recipe gives you the super tender wings you think of when you think of slow cooker wings and the flavors you love from BW3.

To crisp up the skin a bit, we love using our broiler– it makes a huge difference. We LOVE using our bacon pan for broiling, but you could also use a foil lined pan. Either way the result is super tender wings with crisp skin that you can then toss in your favorite flavors. (Note: If you want the same texture as Buffalo Wild Wings, we highly recommend an air fryer (see review video below).

One of the tricks to a good BW3 wing is to always add the seasonings after cooking. Just cook them up and THEN toss in your wet or dry seasoning.

If you don’t happen to have a local restaurant that sells the seasonings, you can always grab your favorite grocery store sauce or seasonings.

If you want to double the amount of wings, just double the meat. No need to double the butter. You may need to add cooking time.
The drippings left in the crock after cooking would be a great flavorful chicken soup base.
