Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 2 pounds chicken wings dry with paper towels—dry skin gets crispier.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss wings with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Brush 1 cup barbecue sauce over both sides of each wing. Return to oven and bake 10 more minutes, until sauce is sticky and caramelized.

  5. 5

    Let wings rest 5 minutes before serving. Optional: sprinkle with chopped parsley or extra black pepper.
