Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to ensure crispy wings.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispier skin during baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken wings in this seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other for even cooking.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the wings generously with barbecue sauce, rotating to coat all sides.
- Remove wings from the oven when they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
- Let the wings rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve hot with additional barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Pat those wings completely dry before seasoning - moisture is the enemy of crispy skin!
- Use a wire rack when baking to ensure maximum crispiness on all sides of the wing.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; give each wing some breathing room for even cooking.
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to guarantee your wings are cooked perfectly to 165°F.
- For extra flavor, try experimenting with different barbecue sauce brands or even make your own homemade sauce.
- Let the wings rest for a few minutes after cooking to help redistribute the juices and maintain maximum tenderness.
- If you want an extra crispy finish, you can briefly broil the wings for 1-2 minutes after saucing.
