Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and ground black pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
Spread the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the chicken wings are baking, prepare the heart-healthy barbecue sauce.
In a small saucepan, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, ground cumin, and dried oregano.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
After the initial 20 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven.
Brush the wings generously with the prepared barbecue sauce.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the wings are cooked through and caramelized.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
