Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 ounces Tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup and set a wire rack on top to allow even air circulation around the wings.
In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss until coated evenly with the spice mixture.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and cooked through, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
While the wings are baking, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, coconut aminos, smoked paprika, and ground cumin.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it has thickened slightly. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the BBQ sauce over the wings and gently toss to coat them evenly.
Return the coated wings to the wire rack and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to set.
Remove from the oven and let the wings cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Paleo BBQ Chicken Wings with your favorite sides or as a delicious appetizer.
