Description

Crispy and flavorful baked BBQ chicken wings made with a spicy, smoky rub and coated in a tangy barbecue sauce. Perfect as a delicious appetizer or snack, these wings are oven-baked to achieve a perfect crispy texture without frying.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 1.5 pounds chicken wings

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to between 400℉ and 425℉. If your oven doesn’t go above 400℉, use the highest setting available. Place an empty wire rack in the oven to heat up; a hotter oven results in crispier wings.
  2. Prepare Wings: In a bowl, mix all the seasoning ingredients to make the spice rub. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels. Coat the wings with vegetable oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mix over them, tossing gently to evenly coat. Do not add the seasoning until ready to bake to prevent moisture from drawing out prematurely.
  3. Arrange Wings: Carefully remove the hot wire rack from the oven and spray it lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the chicken wings on the wire rack, leaving at least an inch of space between each wing for even cooking.
  4. Bake Wings: Place the wire rack with wings into the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then carefully flip each wing. Bake for an additional 30 minutes until wings are cooked through and crispy.
  5. Coat with Barbecue Sauce: Remove the wings from the oven and toss them in the barbecue sauce to coat thoroughly. You may serve immediately or optionally place the wings back in the oven for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to become sticky. Note that returning them to the oven may reduce crispiness.
  6. Serve: Allow the wings to cool slightly, then serve and enjoy your delicious baked BBQ chicken wings!

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, use the highest oven temperature possible within the recommended range.
  • Patting the wings dry before coating helps achieve a better crisp.
  • Spacing wings apart on the rack allows hot air to circulate and crisp the skin evenly.
  • Reheating the wings after saucing will make the sauce sticky but may reduce crispiness.
  • The spice rub can be adjusted to taste, increasing or decreasing cayenne pepper for more or less heat.
