They go great with potato chunks, slaw, or buttery noodles to mop up sauce for a full meal. For game day or chill Saturday, team them with chips, onion dip, a basic salad, and bubbly drinks—soda for kids, light beer or seltzer for grown-ups.

1970s Party Wings 4-Ingredient In Slow Cooker

Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 3 to 4 pounds frozen chicken wings (no need to thaw)

• 1 cup bottled Russian or French salad dressing

• 1 cup grape jelly

• 1 (1-ounce) packet dry onion soup mix

1970s Party Wings: Directions

1. Put the frozen chicken wings at the bottom of a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker. It’s okay if they’re icy and stacked; spread them out flat as you can.

2. In a medium bowl or big measuring cup, mix the salad dressing, grape jelly, and dry onion soup mix with a whisk until mostly smooth. The jelly should break up, and the mix should spread around—no need for perfection.

3. Pour the sauce evenly over the frozen wings, covering as many as possible. Scrape every drop from the bowl with a spatula into the cooker.

4. Cover it and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. Wings are done when tender, cooked through, and hit 165°F inside the thickest meat part (not touching bone).

5. Stir the wings gently in the sauce to coat them all. For thicker, stickier sauce, take off the lid and cook on HIGH another 15 to 30 minutes, stirring once or twice to let liquid bubble away.

6. Move wings to a plate or serve from the cooker on WARM. Spoon extra sauce on top, and set out napkins plus dips or sides.
