Recipe

4 servings55 min

Ingredients

1 kg chicken wings, split at the joints
150 ml tomato-based BBQ sauce
20 g butter, melted
1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper
4 celery sticks, cut into batons
120 ml ranch dressing for dipping

Method

Heat the oven to 220 °C and line a tray with baking paper.
Pat the wings dry and toss with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Bake on a rack for 35–40 minutes, turning once, until crisp and cooked through.
Mix the BBQ sauce with the melted butter, toss the hot wings in it and return to the oven for 5–8 minutes until sticky.
Serve with celery sticks and ranch on the side.

How to make it lighter

Skip the butter in the glaze — 1 tbsp butter is about 100 kcal.
Dip lightly or use half the ranch; most of the extra fat comes from the dip.
Fill up on the celery and count wings before you start eating — around 5–6 pieces makes a portion.

History

Chicken wings became a bar snack in the United States in the second half of the 20th century, with Buffalo-style wings usually credited to Buffalo, New York. Barbecue-glazed versions followed and are now standard on American pub, sports-bar and game-day menus.
