Delicious BBQ Chicken Wings Recipe

These chicken wings are coated in a rich brown sugar and BBQ sauce mixture, then baked or grilled until crispy and caramelized. The recipe can be prepared in about an hour and serves 4 to 6 people.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they become crispy during cooking.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine brown sugar, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create the glaze.
- Coat the Wings: Toss the chicken wings in the sauce mixture until they are evenly coated. You can let them marinate for 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat your grill. Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with foil or directly on the grill. Cook for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and the glaze is caramelized.
- Serve: Remove the wings from the oven or grill and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They are perfect as is or with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
