BBQ Chipotle Wings
Say hello to your new favorite chicken wings recipe! These BBQ Chipotle Wings are coated in a simple chipotle dry rub, baked in the oven and then brushed with a delicious barbecue marinade.
Servings: 18 wings
Calories: 110kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb. chicken wings
- 2 teaspoon chipotle seasoning
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil spray/avocado oil spray
for the sauce:
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ⅛ teaspoon chipotle seasoning or more if you want it to be spicy
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine dry rub ingredients in a bowl. Dip each chicken wing into the bowl, making sure it's completely coated, then place it on a baking sheet. Repeat this process with all of the wings. Spray the wings with olive oil spray/avocado oil spray (this step is optional, but will help them crisp up even more in the oven).
- Bake chicken wings for 30 minutes, flipping half way through.
- While the wings are cooking, prepare the sauce. Whisk all of the bbq sauce ingredients together in a bowl then set aside. Do a taste test; if you want the sauce to be spicier, add more chipotle seasoning.
- Once wings are baked, brush them with sauce on both sides and place back in the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and enjoy with your favorite condiment(s)!
Notes
*Calories are per chicken wing and are an estimation
*These wings are best eaten fresh; I wouldn't prep them in advance or store them for later
*Want to keep these paleo-friendly? Simply omit the butter in the sauce (or use ghee), and use a paleo-approved bbq sauce.
