Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings
Seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
Sauce
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken wings evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika ensuring each wing is thoroughly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for even cooking.
- Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes so they cook through and the skin begins to crisp up.
- Apply Barbecue Sauce: Remove the wings from the oven and generously brush them with the barbecue sauce, coating all sides for maximum flavor.
- Finish Baking: Return the glazed wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to caramelize the sauce and create a sticky, delicious coating.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the wings hot to enjoy their crispy texture and rich barbecue flavor.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen chicken wings; if frozen, thaw completely before seasoning.
- Adjust the amount of barbecue sauce to your taste preference.
- For extra crispiness, you may broil the wings for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces or celery sticks for a complete snack.
- Ensure wings are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
