Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup BBQ spice rub homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 pounds chicken wings party-style or manually separated into wingettes and drumettes
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley optional
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-safe rack over the foil. Apply cooking spray to the rack to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the chicken wings to a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable oil and toss thoroughly to ensure the wings are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the barbecue spice rub over the wings. Toss again to coat each piece generously with the seasoning.
- Place the seasoned wings in a single, even layer on the prepared rack.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For optimal flavor, consider preparing a homemade BBQ spice blend—it requires minimal effort and offers great versatility for future dishes. When available, opt for party-style wings to eliminate the need for separating wing sections manually.
