Chili Cheese Chicken Wings | Melanie Makes

Chicken wings smothered in beer braised chili and topped with cheddar cheese. An absolutely delicious way to fuel up for the second quarter. Even better? The chicken wings are tossed in McCormick Gluten-Free Chili Seasoning and then cooked in the slow cooker before being finished under the broiler. Easy AND flavorful! Our oldest daughter has a complete aversion for spice but these wings were just right. We couldn’t keep her away from them.

      Even my 6yo daughter was enthralled with these, Heather - I had to laugh when she was fighting for the last one with her daddy. :)
