Oooey Gooey Crockpot BBQ Chicken Wings

Oooey Gooey Crockpot BBQ Chicken Wings 1 (4.5 pound) package of chicken wings About 1/4 cup of cooking oil, or just to cover bottom of a heavy skillet 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt, (like Lawry's or Cavender's Greek seasoning), or to taste 1 (16 ounce) bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce, or equivalent homemade 1/4 cup of chili sauce 1/4 cup of honey 1/4 teaspoon of Creole or Cajun seasoning, (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional Cut the tips off of the chicken wings and cut into separate drummettes and wing sections, if desired. Sprinkle the wings generously with seasoning on both sides and let sit for 5 minutes. Add just enough cooking oil to cover the bottom of a skillet and heat oil over medium to medium high heat. Cook the chicken wings in batches over medium until well browned on both sides. Meanwhile, whisk together the barbecue sauce, chili sauce, honey and Cajun seasoning in the crockpot, and turn it on high. As the first batch of seared wings finishes, add them to the crockpot and stir to coat. Cover the crockpot and finish searing the rest of the chicken wings. Add them to the crockpot. Cover the crockpot, reduce heat to low and cook for about 3 hours, depending on size. To serve at a party, you may want to remove the wings to a rack to drip dry for a bit. Otherwise, just enjoy the gooey sloppy delicious goodness! Want this dish to rock? Try it with Sweet & Spicy Barbecue Sauce! Cook's Notes: For a whole cut up chicken or thighs, cook on low for about 5 to 6 hours after browning; 3 to 4 hours on low for boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Stovetop: You may also low simmer these in the same pan you seared them in if you like. Just remove the wings when browned, set aside, whisk in the other ingredients, return the wings to the pan, cover and simmer until done. Buffalo BBQ Wings: Substitute 1/4 cup of Louisiana hot sauce for the chili sauce.
