Baked instead of fried, these chicken wings are tender on the inside and covered with perfectly sticky BBQ sauce on the outside. Nothing quite says gameday like these oven-baked wings!
Marinade the wings in a sauce or rub of your choice for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
Line a baking sheet with foil and place the accompanying baking rack inside the baking sheet. Spray with foil.
Place wings on the rack and inside of a preheated 400F degree oven for 20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the marinade from the chicken.
After 20 minutes, remove from the oven and baste with the reserved marinade using a silicone brush on both sides. Flip chicken so the underside is now facing up. Discard all remaining marinade.
Place back in the oven and continue cooking for another 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F degrees.
After the chicken is done cooking, you can continue basting with fresh BBQ sauce of your choice, or serve and allow others to sauce and season their own wings.
