• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This will help them achieve a crispy skin.

In a large bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and ground cumin. Mix well until smooth.

Step 4

Add the olive oil and optional liquid smoke to the sauce mixture and whisk until fully combined.

Step 5

Place the chicken wings in the bowl, tossing them until they are fully coated with the sauce.

Step 6

Arrange the coated wings on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other for even cooking.

Step 7

Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, using tongs, turn each wing over to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until they are cooked through and have a crispy skin.

Step 9

Remove the wings from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Step 11

Enjoy your low sodium barbecued chicken wings!
