Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900 g) chicken wings, tips removed and split at the joint
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) tomato ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Position the rack in the middle for even heat distribution.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss wings in a large bowl with olive oil until lightly coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine gluten-free flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Add the seasoned flour mix to the wings and toss until each piece is evenly coated with a thin, even layer.
  5. Place wings in a single layer on a wire rack over a baking sheet to allow air circulation and fat drainage.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping wings halfway through (around 20 minutes), until skin is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. While wings bake, whisk together ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, soy sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Transfer baked wings to a large bowl, pour warm BBQ sauce over, and toss gently to coat evenly.
  9. Serve immediately or keep warm by placing wings back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes after saucing.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly before coating to ensure crispiness. Use a wire rack for even cooking and fat drainage. Flip wings halfway through baking. Simmer BBQ sauce to thicken and meld flavors. For extra crispiness after saucing, broil wings for 2 minutes watching closely. Avoid overcrowding the baking rack.
