What sauce is best for dipping BBQ wings?

These wings are tasty plain or serve them with Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing for dipping!

How do you split chicken wings?

If you buy whole chicken wings, here's how to cut them: place them skin side down and then cut between the wing and drummette (there should be a ridge you can cut along). Then cut the wing tip (thin and meatless) off of the wing.

Can these wings be made in an air fryer?

Yes: cook the wings at 400°F for 19 - 20 minutes, flipping halfway. Toss them with the BBQ sauce and then cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Ingredients

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven: preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the chicken with the oil: in a large bowl, add the chicken wings and toss with the oil, salt and pepper.
Add chicken to baking sheet: place the chicken on the parchment-paper lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake: bake in the preheated oven for 50 - 55 minutes, flipping the wings after 30 minutes. The chicken should be crispy and slightly browned.
Toss with barbecue sauce: remove the wings from the oven and add them to a large bowl. Toss the wings with the barbecue sauce so that they are completely coated.
Bake again: add the chicken back to the same baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and the barbecue sauce slightly darkened and caramelized.
Serve: serve immediately, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce (ranch and blue cheese are both tasty)!

Notes

Barbeque sauce: you can use any kind of barbeque sauce for this recipe but I find that sweet sauces (like Honey BBQ or Sweet Baby Ray’s) tend to caramelize more.
Wings: you can buy your wings whole or already split — with either type you will want to buy 3 pounds. If you buy whole wings, here is a short video that shows how to break them down into wings and drumettes: video here.
Whole 30, Keto, Paleo: to make these wings compliant, use an unsweetened BBQ sauce like those from Noble Made, Primal Kitchen, or Tessamae. These are available in some grocery stores as well as online.
