Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) chicken wings
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Garnish:
- Chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by lining a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then preheat to 400F (200C) for optimal cooking conditions.
- Create a seasoning mixture by combining chicken wings with olive oil, ensuring each wing is thoroughly and evenly coated with salt and pepper.
- Carefully distribute the seasoned wings across the foil-lined baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to promote consistent heat circulation and crispy texture.
- Roast the wings for 40-45 minutes, implementing a midway flip to guarantee uniform cooking and achieve a golden, crisp exterior.
- During the final 5 minutes of baking, generously apply barbecue sauce, allowing the wings to caramelize and develop a rich, glossy appearance.
- Extract the wings from the oven and perform an optional additional toss in extra barbecue sauce for intensified flavor profile.
- Enhance the presentation by sprinkling freshly chopped green onions over the wings, adding a vibrant garnish and complementary taste dimension.
- Allow the wings to rest momentarily, reducing surface temperature, then serve immediately alongside preferred dipping sauces for a complete culinary experience.
Notes
- Choose chicken wings with similar sizes to ensure even cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Pat wings completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to help achieve maximum crispiness and better sauce adhesion.
- For gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free BBQ sauce and verify all ingredient labels carefully.
- Experiment with homemade spice blends like smoked paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne for personalized flavor profiles without changing core cooking technique.
