Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
Seasoning Blend:
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Thoroughly dry each chicken wing using paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Combine all dry spices (1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, ¼ tsp cayenne) in a mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle the entire spice blend over your wings, making sure every surface gets an even coating.
- Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil across the seasoned wings and gently toss to distribute the oil completely.
- Position your oven rack with a wire rack inside a baking sheet and preheat to 425°F.
- Carefully position wings on the rack so they are spread out and not touching each other.
- Roast wings at 425°F for 35-40 minutes, turning them midway to ensure even browning and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Pull wings from the oven and liberally brush ½ cup BBQ sauce over each piece.
- Slide wings back into the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the sauce and create a glossy finish.
- Allow wings to rest 5 minutes so the sauce can set and cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Pat the wings completely dry to ensure maximum crispiness and help the spices stick better.
- Use a wire rack inside the baking sheet to let hot air circulate around the wings, creating an even, crispy exterior.
- When brushing BBQ sauce, choose a high-quality sauce with balanced sweetness and tanginess for the best flavor profile.
- For gluten-free diets, select a gluten-free BBQ sauce and double-check all spice ingredients for potential cross-contamination.
