You know, sometimes the best recipes are born out of pure laziness—or, as I prefer to call it, efficiency! One day, I was craving wings but didn't want to deal with the hassle of deep-frying or even baking them. It was a sweltering summer afternoon, the kind where even standing near the oven felt like a punishment. And one of my neighbors dropped off a giant basket of fresh peaches from thier orchard. What would I do with all these peaches?! That's when the idea struck me: Slow Cooker Spicy Peach BBQ Chicken Wings. I mean, who doesnt love BBQ Chicken wings, and peaches are my favorite fruit of all time!
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. Throw everything into the slow cooker, set it, and forget it. The chicken wings emerge hours later, infused with the sweet, tangy, and spicy notes of peach preserves, BBQ sauce, and a secret blend of spices. The peach adds such a unique sweetness to it. The spicy kick is just what you needed. They're so tender, the meat practically melts in your mouth. Trust me, even the pickiest eaters will be reaching for seconds (or thirds!).

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Wings: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning adhere better.
- Season the Wings: In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the wings are evenly coated. Make sure they're really covered in spices.
- Combine Sauce Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar (or honey), Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your desired level of spiciness. For a sweeter flavor, you can use honey instead of brown sugar.
- Layer the Slow Cooker: Pour half of the peach BBQ sauce mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker. Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer over the sauce. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken wings, ensuring they are well coated.
- Slow Cook the Wings: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken wings are fall-off-the-bone tender. Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model.
- Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken wings from the slow cooker and set them aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook on high for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional): For extra crispy wings, preheat your oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Transfer the cooked chicken wings to the prepared baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning!
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the Slow Cooker Spicy Peach BBQ Chicken Wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or extra BBQ sauce.
📝 Notes
- For spicier wings, add more hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- If you don't have peach preserves, you can use apricot preserves or a peach jam as a substitute.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker. Check the wings for doneness after 6 hours on low or 3 hours on high.
