Ingredients
  
For the Gluten-Free BBQ Sauce:
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons coconut amino acids
  • 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
For the Chicken Wings:
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, coarse ground
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
 
  • Combine the ingredients for homemade BBQ sauce in a mixing bowl and set it aside. Dry the chicken wings using a cloth to remove excess moisture.
  • Next, line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack onto it. Combine the baking powder and spices in a mixing bowl. Add the chicken wings to the mixture and toss to combine.
  • Adjust the oven rack to the upper middle position and preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Bake the wings for 20 minutes. (Optional: Brush the wings with BBQ sauce and continue cooking). Flip and bake for 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the wings.
  • Allow the wings to cool for 10 minutes, then toss them in the mixing bowl with the homemade BBQ Sauce.
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • A wire rack allows air to move freely around the chicken wings so the heat can circulate on all sides. If you don’t have a wire rack, I recommend lining a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Pat dry the wings to achieve a nice, crispy coating.
  • Spread the chicken onto the baking sheet; crowding them causes the wings to steam instead of bake.
  • Baking powder is alkaline, and pairing it with salt changes the acidity or pH of the skin, which helps the wings become crispy. 
  • Let the chicken wings rest after roasting them, allowing the wings to release moisture from the skin so they stay crispy.
