Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set a wire rack on top.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. This allows heat to circulate around the wings for even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sugar-free barbecue sauce. In a small saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, liquid smoke, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring the mixture frequently, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Remove the sauce from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven. Using a brush, generously coat the wings with the prepared barbecue sauce.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
Serve the sugar-free barbecued chicken wings hot, garnished with chopped parsley or scallions for a fresh touch.
