Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 2 lbs chicken wings

Seasoning and Sauce

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to prepare for baking the wings and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated, ensuring a crispy texture when baked.
  3. Arrange Wings: Place the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crisping.
  4. Bake Wings: Bake the wings in the oven for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness, until the wings are fully cooked and crispy.
  5. Apply BBQ Sauce: During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the wings generously with barbecue sauce to let the flavor meld without burning the sauce.
  6. Toss & Garnish: Remove the wings from the oven, toss them in any remaining barbecue sauce for extra flavor, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute homemade barbecue sauce for a fresher taste or use any preferred store-bought brand.
  • Turning the wings halfway through baking ensures even cooking and prevents burning on one side.
  • For extra crispiness, you may broil the wings for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Chicken wings should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Garnish with green onions adds freshness but can be omitted if desired.
