Instructions
- Move oven rack to upper middle section. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place wire cooling rack on top and spray rack with cooking spray so wings don't stick to it.
- Pat wings dry really well using paper towels. This is super important so the wings crisp and not steam. Once dry, add to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk salt, black pepper, 2 tablespoons of the dry BBQ rub and 1 tablespoon baking powder. Sprinkle seasoning over wings. Toss well until wings are evenly coated. Place on rack/baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake 20 minutes. Flip to the other side. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of dry BBQ rub and return to the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden, crispy and cooked to internal temp of 165 degrees. NOTE: Cook time may vary with size of wings.
- Wings are finished and ready to eat but if you prefer – transfer to large clean bowl, drizzle with BBQ sauce and toss to coat. Serve right away.
