Oven-Baked BBQ Chicken Wings Recipe:

Enjoy crispy, flavorful wings without the hassle of deep frying by following this easy oven-baked method.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, tips removed and wings split at the joint
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of brand or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the Wings: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to ensure each wing is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Arrange the Wings: Place a baking rack over a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil to catch any drips. Arrange the chicken wings on the rack in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  4. Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, turning them over halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp up on both sides.
  5. Coat with BBQ Sauce: Remove the wings from the oven and generously brush them with BBQ sauce. Make sure each wing is fully coated for maximum flavor.
  6. Caramelize the Sauce: Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the wings are glossy and the BBQ sauce is slightly caramelized, giving them a delicious sticky finish.
  7. Serve: Serve the wings hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.

Enjoy the Flavor

These Oven-Baked BBQ Chicken Wings are perfect for serving at parties, family dinners, or as a casual weekend treat. The combination of crispy skin and the sweet, tangy BBQ sauce creates a delicious contrast in every bite.
