Prep Time:15 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup Whole30 compliant barbecue sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will allow the heat to circulate better and the fat to drip away.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss well to ensure the wings are thoroughly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure none of the wings are touching, which will help them cook evenly and crisp up.

Step 4

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes. Flip each wing over halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides get crispy.

Step 5

Meanwhile, heat the Whole30 compliant barbecue sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warm, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush them liberally with the warmed barbecue sauce.

Step 7

Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and starting to caramelize.

Step 8

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to cool slightly and adhere better to the wings.

Step 9

Serve warm with additional barbecue sauce on the side if desired.
