How to Make Apple Bbq Sauce Chicken Wings
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a food processor, combine 1 medium apple (cored and chopped), ½ medium onion (chopped), and ½ green bell pepper (chopped). Process until finely chopped.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the processed apple mixture with 1 cup apple cider vinegar, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- While the sauce simmers, prepare the rub: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
- Pat 2 lbs of chicken wings dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture all over the wings, ensuring even coating.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Arrange chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, pour the BBQ sauce over the wings, ensuring they are fully coated. Return to the oven.
- Bake for another 20 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until cooked through and nicely caramelized.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
