Ingredients for Barbecued Chicken Wings

  • Ketchup

  • Red Wine Vinegar
  • Lime Juice
  • Cornstarch

How to Make Barbecued Chicken Wings

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce (1 cup), brown sugar (1/4 cup), olive oil (2 tablespoons), apple cider vinegar (2 tablespoons), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), onion powder (1 teaspoon), paprika (1 teaspoon), salt (1 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon).
  2. Add the chicken wings (2 pounds) to the bowl and toss to coat ensuring all wings are evenly covered in the marinade.
  3. Marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure wings aren't overcrowded for even cooking.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for a few 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.
