Ingredients
- •Chicken Wingettes Or Drumettes
- •BBQ Sauce(480g)
Any BBQ sauce. Sweet Baby Ray's is a go-to. Check sugar content if cutting.
Instructions
- 1Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, place a wire rack on top, and lightly coat the rack with cooking spray (or skip the rack and bake directly on parchment if unavailable).
- 2Pat the chicken wingettes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them crisp better during baking.
- 3In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wingettes with half of the BBQ sauce and toss gently until evenly coated.
- 4Arrange the coated wingettes in a single layer on the prepared rack, spacing them so they don't touch, and transfer to a preheated 425°F oven.
- 5Bake for 25–30 minutes over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside; internal temperature should reach 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
- 6Remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the remaining half of the BBQ sauce over all wingettes, coating evenly.
- 7Return to the oven and bake for an additional 2–3 minutes until the sauce is tacky and caramelized.
- 8Divide the warm wingettes evenly into 3 airtight containers while still hot, allowing them to cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating for up to 4 days.
