Baked BBQ Chicken Wings
Our baked chicken wings are tossed in baking powder before baking to help crisp up the skin. It's such a great trick for making wings in the oven! We toss these in our favorite sugar-free BBQ sauce for extra saucy wings.

Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken wing sections, fresh or frozen and thawed
- 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
- 1 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place a wire rack over a sheet pan. Spray with nonstick spray.
- Use paper towels to dry the chicken wings, removing as much liquid as possible for the most crispy wings.
- Add the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the chicken wings to a large bowl and sprinkle the seasoning over the top. Stir well to coat the chicken wings.
- Arrange the chicken on the wire rack, skin side up, in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for another 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and skin is crispy.
- Remove the wings from the oven and toss with the BBQ sauce. Return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
Notes
We really love Sweet Baby Ray's No Sugar Added sauce. It tastes just like the original, uses a natural sweetener as the sugar replacement, and has just 1 net carb per 2 tablespoons.
The baking powder reacts with the protein in the chicken skin to make it extra crispy, but be sure to use aluminum-free baking powder or you'll find an off taste to the wings.
We brushed a bit of extra sauce on top of the wings after baking them in the sauce, just because we like things extra saucy.
