Barbeque Chicken Wings (in the Slow Cooker)

I've made these wings several times but always in the oven and/or grill.  This time it was 100 degrees outside and I said screw it I'm not going outside or turning on the oven for 2 hours.  I don't know where I saw these done.  I think I was watching a grilling special on TV and saw someone make it. 

These are always a hit and turned out great in the slow cooker!

Ingredients:

• Famous Dave's Rib Rub
• Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
• Fresh Chicken Wings
• Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce

Directions:

Preheat slow cooker on High.

Cut off strips of aluminum foil to make pockets.  Take 2-3 chicken wings at a time and coat with ranch dressing then sprinkle with rub.  Place in the aluminum pocket and seal.  Place in slow cooker.

Repeat until crock pot is filled with chicken wing pockets.

Cook on High for approximately 2 hours.

Take a tray and place wings on the tray meaty side up. 

Brush with BBQ sauce (I used my Bobby Flay basting brush!).  Stick under the broiler in the oven on High for aprox 5 mins.

Enjoy!

Bobby Flay's Silicone Basting Barbeque Brush

Just wanted to talk about one of my favorite new products this season.  My old cooking brushes were pretty beat up this year.  Early in the BBQ season I had some Kohl's cash and a 30% off coupon (if you get a 30% off coupon its like its begging you to use it!).  So I packed up both kids and went for an adventure to Kohl's.

I looked along the wall and found some brushes that were similar to my old ones.  But you see the thing is I hated those old ones...maybe I secretly plotted their demise so I could get something new :-)  The problem with the old ones I had was that for vinegar and things that had a runny texture it was hard to "slop" enough on the meat to coat it. 

So then I looked around some more and found my answer...The Bobby Flay Silicone Basting Brush!!!!  I love you little red brush!

It was $8.49 plus 30% off.  What's not to love about that!

I've used it soooo many times now.  For barbeque sauce...for vinegar onto pit beef...for ketchup on meatloafs...the uses of this thing go on and on.  But the best thing is that it picks up a lot of stuff so you can just slather on your marinade or sauce!  LOVE IT!
