Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the skin from the chicken wings to reduce fat content. Discard the wing tips if desired, or save them for making stock.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely in the oven.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spices.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the wings with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
After 30 minutes, brush the wings with the low-sugar BBQ sauce, coating them thoroughly.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have a nice caramelized finish.
Remove the chicken wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with additional BBQ sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
