Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup Tomato paste
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon Blackstrap molasses
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, add the chicken wings and season them with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sugar-free BBQ sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, blackstrap molasses, liquid smoke, and water.
Stir the sauce continuously and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
After 30 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with the prepared BBQ sauce.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and the sauce has caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let the wings sit for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the wings hot with your favorite sides or as an appetizer.
