Ingredients
  

Chicken Wings Preparation
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 Dash cayenne pepper
Sauce
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce divided

Equipment

  • 15x10x1-in. baking pan
  • Large bowl
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Pour the melted butter and oil over the foil; brush the pan surface to coat it evenly.
  3. Use a sharp knife to cut through the 2 wing joints; discard the wing tips.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  5. Add the wing pieces to the bowl a few at a time and toss them to coat completely. Shake off any excess coating mixture.
  6. Place the coated wings on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the wings are golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  7. Brush both sides of the wings with half of the barbecue sauce. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes longer, until the wings are browned and the juices run clear.
  8. Brush the wings with the remaining 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce before serving.
