US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Prep your slow cooker insert by spritzing with cooking oil to keep it from sticking.
Place all of the wings in the cooker.
Whisk the brown sugar, bbq sauce, Dr. Pepper, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Reserve ¼ cup of the sauce in a separate bowl. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the wings.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 or high 3-4 hours - until thoroughly cooked and tender. They can be served now - or you can continue with the optional steps.
Place the wings on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with the reserved sauce and broil until glazed and sticky.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Red pepper flakes can be added to the sauce mixture for added kick.
Make this recipe with your favorite flavor of bbq sauce.
