Ingredients
  

  • 900 g chicken wings
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Wings:
    Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings.
    In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss the wings in the mixture until evenly coated.
    Marinate (Optional):
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for deeper flavor).
    Cook the Wings:
    Grilling: Preheat grill to medium heat (350°F/175°C). Grill wings for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
    Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake wings on a wire rack for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
    Add the Sauce:
    During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush wings with BBQ sauce. For extra flavor, apply a second coat before serving.
    Serve:
    Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve with celery sticks, blue cheese dressing, or your favorite sides.
