Instructions
Prepare the marinade
In a large bowl, combine barbecue sauce, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined.
Pro tip: Adjust the spice level by adding more cayenne.
Marinate the chicken
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Pro tip: Marinating overnight enhances the flavour.
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Arrange the wings
Place the marinated wings on the wire rack, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Pro tip: Spacing helps the wings cook evenly.
Bake the wings
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and crispy.
Pro tip: Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
Pro tip: Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
