Why You’ll Love These Baked BBQ Wings:

Crispy Texture: Thanks to the baking method, you get that perfectly crispy skin without deep frying.
Sweet & Tangy BBQ Sauce: The wings are tossed in a rich and flavorful BBQ sauce that enhances the crispy texture and adds a smoky-sweet kick.
Easy to Make: These wings require only a few simple ingredients and minimal hands-on time.
Healthy-ish: Baking instead of frying makes these wings a slightly healthier option, perfect for enjoying without the guilt.

Ingredients:

4 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat & Prep the Wings

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Then place a wire rack on top of the lined baking sheet.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for getting the crispy skin.
Place dry seasonings in a small bowl and mix together. Then, in a large bowl, toss the wings with the mixed garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and baking powder until evenly coated.

Step 2: Bake the Wings

Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the racks of the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for around 40 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness. Bake until the wings are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Check the inner temperature with a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken has reached 165℉ to avoid over cooking.

Step 3: Toss in BBQ Sauce

Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the BBQ sauce over the wings and toss them gently to coat evenly.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

Serve the wings hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces or sides like coleslaw or crispy fries!

Tips for Perfect BBQ Baked Wings:

Crispier Wings: If you prefer extra crispy wings, broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking, but keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
BBQ Sauce Options: Experiment with different BBQ sauce flavors – from smoky to spicy, even parmesan garlic! There’s a sauce for every taste.
Make It Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to your BBQ sauce for an extra kick.

FAQs:

Can I make these wings ahead of time?

Yes! You can bake the wings in advance and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Omit the BBQ sauce. Then just reheat them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, then toss in BBQ sauce.

Can I use frozen wings?

Yes, you can use frozen wings. Just make sure to thaw them in the fridge overnight before baking for best results.
