I can't think of anything better than BBQ wings; they are one of my favorite appetizers. This recipe is great because it is healthier than deep-fried BBQ wings. I bake my wings in the oven instead to avoid all of the extra grease, and they still come out crispy and delicious!
The key ingredient that makes these wings crispy is baking powder (not baking soda!), so remember to add it to the flour mix.

Ingredients
- Chicken wings: For this recipe, use fresh chicken wings. If the chicken is frozen, let it thaw completely before starting the recipe.
- Plain flour: This gives the chicken its crispy skin.
- Baking powder: It adds even more crispness to the skin. Make sure it has not expired before using it; if it has, it will not work. Don't make the mistake of adding baking soda, though, as it adds a really strong metal-like taste.
- Garlic powder: For flavor. Garlic powder works better than fresh garlic in this recipe.
BBQ Marinade
- Butter: For this recipe, you can use salted or unsalted butter. If you use salted butter, you may need to add less salt.

Tips and Substitutions
- Marinade: Feel free to change the BBQ marinade to your taste. Add more hot sauce for spicier wings and less mustard for less of a kick.
- Baking: Turn the chicken occasionally as it bakes. This will ensure that it cooks evenly and does not stick to the baking tray.
- Chicken: Instead, You can use thighs to make this Sticky Oven Chicken Thighs BBQ.
- BBQ sauce: The marinade is really the star of the show, so make sure you use a good-quality sauce for the best flavor.
How to Make Baked BBQ Chicken Wings
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas. Grab an oven rack, cover it with aluminum foil, and lightly spray (or brush) oil on the foil.
- Grab a bowl and add the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, whisking well (you can add other seasonings if you wish).
- Use a paper towel to pat down each wing until it is dry. Then, dip each wing into the flour mix, place them on the foil, and make sure they are 2 cm apart. Put the rack into the oven for 40 minutes and turn halfway through.
- While the wings are in the oven, start on the sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan on low heat. Then add the BBQ sauce, mustard, honey, and hot sauce to the saucepan and stir well. Once the sauce starts to bubble, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
- Once the wings are ready, remove them from the oven, dip them in the saucepan, and drench them in BBQ sauce!
