How to Make Spicy Bbq Chicken Wings

  1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of tomato paste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of chili powder (adjust to taste), 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and 1/4 cup of honey. Stir well to combine.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Place 2 lbs of chicken wings in a non-stick oven-safe dish.
  5. Pour the simmered BBQ sauce evenly over the chicken wings. Cover the dish tightly with foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Bake the wings uncovered for 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the sauce is caramelized and slightly sticky. Flip the wings halfway through for even cooking.
