The best barbeque chicken wings are crispy and drenched in a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. They’re a family favorite that’s easy to make at home.
The secret to perfectly crispy wings is a simple seasoning blend of salt and baking powder. The salt intensifies the savory flavor of the skin while the baking powder makes them crispy in the oven. If you’d like to add some allium notes, you can also mix in a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder.
To prepare the wings, pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Then, preheat your oven to 425°F and prepare a rimmed baking sheet by brushing it with vegetable oil. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet, then lay the wings in a single layer so that they are not touching.
Bake the wings for about 45 minutes until they are golden and crisp. Meanwhile, you can make the simple bbq sauce by throwing all the ingredients into a saucepan and simmering until thickened.
If you have the time, you can marinate the chicken for 2 to 24 hours. Not only will this make the meat juicier, but it’ll also tenderize it which helps reduce cooking times and ensure that the meat is cooked all the way through. If you don’t have the time to marinate, you can still use this recipe, but be sure to check your wings frequently for doneness. Using an instant read thermometer is a good way to be sure your wings are cooked to a safe internal temperature.
