Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup low-carb barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely.
In a large bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Toss the wings in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
Place the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the wings are baking, heat the low-carb barbecue sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the warmed barbecue sauce over the top.
Toss the wings until they are fully coated in the barbecue sauce.
Return the coated wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze.
Remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
