Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings & Potatoes

Ingredients

• 2 lbs (900 g) chicken wings

• 1½ lbs (680 g) baby potatoes, halved

• 1 medium onion, sliced

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ cup chicken broth

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 3 tablespoons melted butter

• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional)

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients

Wash the potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters. Slice the onion and mince the garlic. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.

2. Make the seasoning

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

3. Coat the chicken and potatoes

Add the chicken wings and potatoes to the bowl. Pour the seasoning mixture over everything and toss until well coated.

4. Prepare the slow cooker

Lightly grease the slow cooker. Add the sliced onions and potatoes, then arrange the seasoned chicken wings on top.

5. Add the broth

Pour the chicken broth around the ingredients. Avoid pouring too much directly over the seasoned chicken.

6. Slow cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

7. Add Parmesan

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the chicken and potatoes. Cover for another 5–10 minutes until the cheese melts.

8. Serve

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. For crispier chicken wings, transfer them to a baking sheet and broil for 3–5 minutes until golden and crispy.

Serve warm and enjoy!
