Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with foil.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with the baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, make the BBQ sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Remove wings from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the BBQ sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.

Step 6

Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, until the sauce is sticky and caramelized.

Step 7

Serve the BBQ chicken wings hot, with extra sauce on the side for dipping if desired. Enjoy!
