Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and become crispy.

    Prepare the Wings: In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken wings. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

      Season the Wings: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper over the wings. Mix well until all the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning.

        Arrange on Rack: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring there is space between each wing for air circulation.

          Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Glaze with BBQ Sauce: Remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with your favorite BBQ sauce. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly.

              Serve: Once done, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping!
