Crock Pot Chicken Wings (Garlic Parmesan)

Ingredients

• 4 lb Chicken wings (separated into flats and drumettes)
• 1 tsp Sea salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
• Green onions (or chives; optional; sliced thinly for garnish)

Instructions

1. Place the chicken wings in the bottom of a slow cooker. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Mix well.
2. In a small bowl or saucepan, stir together the melted butter and minced garlic. You can melt it on the stove or in the microwave. If melting on the stove, saute the garlic for about a minute before removing from heat.
3. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken wings. Stir to coat.
4. Cook the wings in the slow cooker for 2.5-3 hours on High or 5-6 hours on Low, until almost fall-off-the-bone tender.
5. Toward the end, preheat the oven to Broil. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, or you can use foil and grease well. (If using parchment paper, make sure there isn't any excess to prevent burning under the broiler.)
6. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the pan. Broil for about 5 minutes on each side, until crispy and golden.
7. Remove the chicken wings from the oven. Top with shredded parmesan cheese. Return to the oven (under the broiler again) for 1-2 minutes, until melted.
8. Garnish with green onions or chives if you like.
