Ingredients
  

2 pounds of chicken wings

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for even cooking.

    Prep the Wings: In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This will help them become crispy. Add baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika to the wings. Toss to coat evenly.

      Arrange for Baking: Place the wings skin-side up on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching each other. This allows for better air circulation and crispiness.

        Add Oil: Drizzle the vegetable oil over the wings lightly and give them a quick toss to ensure they are all evenly coated.

          Bake the Wings: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they're golden brown and crispy.

            Add the BBQ Sauce: Once the wings are crispy, remove them from the oven. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked wings with your barbecue sauce, tossing until they are thoroughly coated.

              Final Bake: Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

                Serve and Garnish: Remove wings from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
