How to Make Barbecue Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up nicely.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the wings.
  7. Brush the wings generously with your favorite barbecue sauce.
  8. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and the sauce is caramelized and slightly sticky.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
