Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season the Wings: In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Bake the Wings: Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
- Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and ranch dressing, stirring until well blended.
- Toss and Serve: Once the wings are baked, transfer them to the bowl with the BBQ ranch sauce. Toss gently until evenly coated. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
For a quicker cooking method, you can use an air fryer set to 360°F (182°C) and cook the wings for about 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Grilling is also an option; just make sure to brush the wings with BBQ sauce in the last few minutes of cooking for the best flavor.
