Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low-sugar BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures they cook evenly and become crispy.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning on both sides.
While the wings are baking, prepare the BBQ glaze by mixing the low-sugar BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sauce is well combined and heats through, then remove from heat.
After the initial baking, remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with the prepared BBQ glaze.
Return the glazed wings to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and slightly caramelized and the wings are cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the low-fat BBQ wings hot, and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley or green onions for a pop of color.
