Equipment

Baking Sheet

Ingredients

⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 pounds chicken drumettes and wingettes* (approx. 20 pieces)
1 cup BBQ sauce (click for recipe!)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. For the evenest cooking, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil then set a wire rack on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the whole thing with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl and stir together.
⅓ cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Toss the wings in a large bowl and season with half of the seasoning mix, stirring to coat well. Sprinkle in the remaining seasoning mix and stir again, making sure to cover completely.

Arrange the wings on the prepared sheet pan in an even layer. Bake for 30 minutes, flip the wings, and bake for another 15 minutes.
Remove the wings from the oven and increase the temp to 500°F.
Transfer the wings to a large bowl and toss them with the BBQ sauce. Place them back on the baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until the BBQ sauce has thickened and browned. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

*Fresh or frozen both work. If you use frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight. Pat the wings dry with a paper towel before coating. This will help the seasoning stick.
