Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup Whole30 compliant barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will allow the heat to circulate better and the fat to drip away.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss well to ensure the wings are thoroughly coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure none of the wings are touching, which will help them cook evenly and crisp up.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes. Flip each wing over halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides get crispy.
Meanwhile, heat the Whole30 compliant barbecue sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warm, about 5 minutes.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush them liberally with the warmed barbecue sauce.
Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and starting to caramelize.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to cool slightly and adhere better to the wings.
Serve warm with additional barbecue sauce on the side if desired.
