Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional for extra stickiness)
How to Make Sticky BBQ Chicken Wings
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings get crispy.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings are baking, heat the barbecue sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. If you want extra stickiness, stir in the honey.
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and toss them in the warm barbecue sauce until well coated.
- Return the sauced wings to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before seasoning.
- Feel free to marinate the wings in the seasoning mixture for a few hours or overnight for more intense flavor.
- If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high and cook the wings for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and crispy.
Easy Variations
- Try different barbecue sauces such as spicy, sweet, or smoky for a unique twist.
- Add a splash of hot sauce to the barbecue sauce for an extra kick.
- Substitute the chicken wings with drumsticks if preferred.
What to Serve With It
- Celery sticks and carrot sticks with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
- Homemade coleslaw for a refreshing crunch.
- Crispy potato wedges or fries for a hearty side.
- A simple green salad to balance the richness of the wings.
Storage and Reheating
Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. For a crispy finish, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
