How to Make Chicken Wings
White Barbecue Sauce
Mix all ingredients for white barbecue sauce together until blended. Refrigerate until ready for use.
Tip: white barbecue sauce makes a great sauce for pork, fish, and vegetables. Also makes a tasty dip for raw veggies!
Make Dry Rub
Mix all dry rub ingredients in a small bowl.
Season Chicken And Refrigerate
Liberally sprinkle both sides of chicken with the dry rub.
Toss well to coat. Cover chicken in plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours - up to 2 days!
Bake
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cook chicken wings on a baking sheet 45 to 50 minutes - or until done. For easy cleanup use parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Admire your perfectly baked chicken wings!
Coat Wings In BBQ Sauce
In a large bowl add chicken wings and toss with just enough white BBQ sauce to coat. Reserve the rest for dipping on the side.
I like to only coat half of the wings in sauce, and leave the other half uncoated. They are equally flavorful without the white BBQ sauce, and it gives people options.
What goes with chicken wings for dinner?
Having chicken wings for dinner is a great idea! These wings go great with a side salad, roasted veggies, and even baked potatoes (if you're not on a low carb diet).
Here is a great make-ahead salad recipe that you can serve a crowd, or if you want leftovers. As long as you don't mix the dressing it will keep for a couple of days! Love it...

FAQ'S
A serving size is 4 wings per person. For a party, some people eat more and some less especially when balanced with other appetizers. You can estimate about 5 wings per person and you should be fine.
I will say that this chicken wing recipe is really good and has a tendency to go really fast. If you are really unsure, you could go with 6 wings per person and you might have leftovers. If you're serving a football team I make no promises! ๐
Chicken is done at 165 degrees F. You can test by using an instant-read thermometer and inserting it in the center of the thickest part of the chicken. For your reference, here is the FDA's temperature guide:
