Ingredients
Scale
- Vegetable oil, as needed for oiling wire rack
- 2 pounds chicken wings (wingettes and drummettes)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
- 3/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and baking sheet: Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Oil the wire rack: Grease both sides of a wire rack with vegetable oil using a paper towel or spray with cooking spray. Place the greased rack inside the baking sheet.
- Dry the chicken wings: Place chicken wings on paper towels and pat them dry with additional paper towels.
- Coat the chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken wings and mix until evenly coated.
- Arrange and bake: Place wings evenly on the wire rack and bake for 20 minutes. Flip wings and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
- Toss in BBQ sauce: Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl, pour BBQ sauce over them, and toss to coat.
- Return the coated wings to the reserved baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes for a crispy coating.
- Garnish and serve: Transfer wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped chives or green onions if desired.
Notes
For best results, serve immediately after tossing in BBQ sauce for maximum crispiness. Experiment with different BBQ sauces for varied flavors.
