Variations
Want to change things up a bit? How about making some chipotle wings!
Chipotle Chicken Wings
Use ingredients listed below, but substitute 2 1/2 lbs. fresh or thawed Chicken Wings. Shorten cook time to 2.5 hour on HIGH before draining and adding sauce. Pour sauce over wings, and cook for 30 more minutes.
For crispier chipotle honey wings, retain 3/4 cup of sauce mixture.
After wings have finished cooking, place on foil lined cookie sheet and brush with 1/4 cup of the remaining sauce and place under Broiler for 5 minutes. Then flip wings and brush with another 1/4 cup of sauce and place under broiler for an additional 5 minutes. Then flip once more, brush with remaining 1/4 cup of sauce, and place under broiler for 5 more minutes.
Jen writes: “Made the wings multiple times! Delicious.”
Katelyn writes: “Love it, tasted yummy. I made with a side of parmesan garlic potato wedges.”
Storage Tips
Your chipotle chicken leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Then, one of my favorite Chicken Meal Prep Ideas is to reheat it the next day for another easy lunch or dinner!

Love this recipe. It has become a favorite of ours. Have pork steaks in the crock pot now, hope it’s just as good as the chicken!
I’m so glad you loved it!
Do we season the chicken with anything before putting it in the crock pot?
Hi Alexa ~ you can season with a little salt and/or pepper if you’d like, but it’s not necessary due to the yummy strong flavors you’ll get in the sauce. Hope that helps! 🙂
Wow, the ranch hot wings are amazing this is my new wing recipe. I can’t wait to try the rest of the chicken recipes from this site.
Thanks Lyric ~ so glad you liked them! Aren’t they so simple and SO delicious?? 🙂
Anyone know about how many calories is in this dish? I am trying to import it into MyFitnessPal, and it’s coming up at about 289 calories per serving. Does that sound about right? Thanks!
Made these today and they were delicious! I don’t even like white meat but these were so moist and juicy it was unbelievable. I used bone in skin on breasts and they were still done in 3 hours. After they were done i pulled the skin off since the crock pot left it ‘flabby’, but the flavor and moisture in the meat was what was so surprising. Hubby loved them too! I made home made rice pilaf and corn as sides. Will definitely make these again. So happy i found this site from Pinterest.
Aww ~ I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😉
