Why This Recipe Stands Out

Brown Sugar BBQ Chicken Wings Ingredients

  • Chicken wings – I have used medium size chicken wings, cleaned them and pat them dry.
  • Brown sugar – The brown sugar gives a great flavor when used with the other ingredients.

  • White vinegar—The sweetness from the brown sugar combined with the white vinegar makes these chicken wings delicious in every bite.

Tips to Making Great BBQ Chicken Wings

  • Cleaning the wings will make you enjoy these BBQ Chicken Wings even more. The first thing you have to do is to grab a knife, using the sharp side, gently scrub the chicken wings.
  • Rub the wings with salt for one minute, rinse, and you will see that the wings are now brighter in color. The most important step is done, and the following steps are much easier.
  • Before preparing the wings, make sure to preheat the oven. You can also grill these wings instead of baking. Grilling the chicken wings will add a Smokey flavor.
  • You can use my Chicken Brine recipe; it’s easy to prepare and requires no cooking. Place the chicken wings in the brine for 30 to 40 minutes, and you’re good to go.

Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions

Step 1
In a big bowl, mix the BBQ sauce ingredients well. Keep aside.

Step 2
Season the wings with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5
Place the chicken wings on the baking tray and bake again at 400F/200C for 10 to 15 minutes.

How To Serve Brown Sugar BBQ Chicken Wings

These chicken wings are amazing with garlic sauce (Toum) and even Creamy Hummus. For a healthier choice, serve them with a green salad on the side.

You can try them with Mushroom and Rice or with Buttery
Lime Rice. One thing to remember to make this recipe a hit is to choose meaty chicken wings.

    Yasss! This recipe is right up my alley. I can’t make that many foods because I suck at cooking. But I do bake chicken at least once a week. I’m totally going to save this one to make this week!

    I did not know that trick about rubbing salt on the chicken wings. I will do that next time. I like your homemade BBQ sauce too. That would be a whole lot better that the ones I get at the store.
