Step 4. Next sous vide BBQ chicken wings at 145.5 degrees F for 1 hour.
Step 5. After the wings cook in the sous vide bath, it’s time to slather on some BBQ sauce. First remove the wings from the bag and pat dry with a paper towel.
Then add BBQ sauce to the sous vide wings by either mixing the wings with the BBQ sauce in a bowl or brushing on barbecue to the wings individually.
Finally, set the wings evenly spaced out on a baking sheet rimmed with parchment paper.
Step 6. Now preheat the oven broiler to high. Then once broiler preheats, broil the sous vide BBQ wings for 3-5 minutes on until the skin becomes crispy to your desire.
Then it’s time serve immediately and enjoy with your favorite sides!
