Ingredients
2 lbs (1 kg) chicken wings
1/2 cup smoky BBQ sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp chili powder (optional, for a spicy kick)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation Steps
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy finish. Trim any excess fat and separate the drumettes and flats if desired.
In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, grill the wings for 8-10 minutes per side on medium-high heat, brushing with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes. For air frying, preheat to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Once cooked, toss the wings in smoky BBQ sauce until well-coated.
Garnish with chopped parsley or serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
