Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 pounds chicken wings
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 400F (200C) and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup and non-stick surface.
- Create an even coating on chicken wings by thoroughly mixing with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring each wing is well seasoned.
- Strategically place wings on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out to allow proper air circulation and even cooking, preventing overcrowding.
- Roast wings in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, which enables fat to melt away and promotes a crispy exterior texture.
- Carefully remove wings from oven and apply a generous layer of BBQ sauce to both sides, using a basting brush to ensure complete and uniform coverage.
- Return wings to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and create a rich, glossy finish with deep flavor complexity.
- Once wings are golden brown and sauce is slightly charred at edges, remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle and prevent burning.
Notes
- Keep wings uniformly sized to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to achieve extra crispy skin and better sauce adherence.
- Use a wire rack inside the baking sheet for maximum air circulation, resulting in crispier wings with less accumulated grease.
- Select thick, high-quality BBQ sauce to prevent burning and create a beautiful caramelized exterior during the final baking stage.
