These crispy chicken wings are oven-baked to perfection and coated with a tangy glaze for a flavor-packed snack or meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a mixing bowl.
Drying the wings helps them crisp up better in the oven.
Season the wings with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, tossing to coat evenly.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Spacing the wings out allows them to cook evenly and become crispy.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them and bake for another 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
Flipping the wings halfway ensures even cooking and crispiness.
While the wings bake, combine the barbecue sauce and hot sauce in a small bowl to make the glaze.
Warming the glaze slightly can make it easier to coat the wings.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the glaze until well coated.
Use tongs to evenly coat the wings without making a mess.
Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side. Enjoy!
Serving the wings immediately ensures they stay crispy.
