Slow Cooker Honey Lime Habañero Wings

These honey lime habañero slow cooker wings are perfect for your football party or tailgate, especially for all your guests that like their game day eats with a kick! Wings are such a quintessential party food, especially perfect for your football parties! Wings can be a bit an undertaking though, so I like making wings in the slow cooker –  it’s just so easy! While not as crispy as breaded & fried wings, the meat then falls right off the bone! The trick is to broil the wings for a few minutes before serving. That helps crisp up and caramelize the sauce!
Yum! And this sauce certainly packs a bit of a punch with the habañero hot sauce. A little goes a LONG way! In fact, if you’d like them not too spicy, you might want to even go down to just 1 Tablespoon on the hot sauce. Here’s the easy recipe:

Easy, right?! If you like spicy food, these are super yummy! Just be sure to serve the wings up with some tasty ranch dip alongside some celery and carrot sticks! Some chips and easy queso dip, chili cheese dip, and/or cheesy bean dip  served up with these would definitely be a hit for your party! And if spicy just really isn’t your thing, then try our apricot bbq wings – SO good!
