Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings
Seasonings
- 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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the wings to a crispy finish.
- Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the seasoned wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
- Initial Bake: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes to cook through and start crisping the skin.
- Apply Barbecue Sauce: Remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with barbecue sauce to add that rich, tangy flavor.
- Final Bake: Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to set and caramelize slightly.
- Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and serve the wings hot to enjoy their crispy texture and delicious taste.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for an additional 1-2 minutes after the final bake, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- If you prefer, use homemade barbecue sauce for a personalized flavor.
- You can double the recipe to serve a larger crowd; just bake in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Make sure wings are thawed if previously frozen before cooking.
