Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set a wire rack on top.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. This allows heat to circulate around the wings for even cooking.

Step 4

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the sugar-free barbecue sauce. In a small saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, liquid smoke, and water.

Step 6

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring the mixture frequently, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Remove the sauce from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 8

Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven. Using a brush, generously coat the wings with the prepared barbecue sauce.

Step 9

Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.

Step 10

Serve the sugar-free barbecued chicken wings hot, garnished with chopped parsley or scallions for a fresh touch.
