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.
