Tips and variation
Do not thaw the wings before cooking! Then unfreeze, cook and soak up flavor all at one time in just 2 or 3 hours!
Add your frozen wings to the Crockpot after rinsing them in a colander.
Cover with the cola. You can also use sprite if you want. The combination of the chicken juices and the cola will help create a tender juicy deliciousness in your BBQ Wings!
The wings are going to create their own juice while cooking so you only want to barely cover with cola. I have tried this a number of times, and it just worked and tastes perfect just like how I want it.
