Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • Chopped scallions for garnish if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the wings, tossing to coat them thoroughly.
  4. If grilling, place the seasoned wings on the grill grates and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wings are cooked through and nicely charred. If baking, arrange the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  5. In the last few minutes of cooking, brush the barbecue sauce over the wings, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
  6. Remove the wings from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Top with scallions and serve hot with additional barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

If you prefer spicier wings, feel free to increase the amount of chili powder or add cayenne pepper to the spice mixture. You can also customize your BBQ sauce by adding a touch of honey, maple syrup, or hot sauce to your desired level. Serve with ranch dressing, blue cheese, or sriracha mayo for an irresistible combination. Enjoy!
