8. Put the tray in the preheated oven at 180 ° C and let the meat bake for 20 minutes. 
9. Add the barbeque sauce on one side of the wings, then turn them over and add the sauce on the other side. Leave them in the oven for another 10 minutes.

Another version of the recipe

Sometimes we do not have an oven at hand or we do not want to complicate this method. Chicken wings can also be cooked in a pan, and the taste obtained is very similar. If you do not want to use the oven, follow the steps below:

1. Heat oil and butter over low heat.
2. Add the chicken wings and season with salt and pepper to taste. Leave them in the pan for a few minutes until they start to turn brown.
3. We recommend that you prepare the barbeque sauce in another pan. After mixing all the ingredients, pour the sauce over the meat.
4. Bring the mixture to a simmer until the sauce thickens and sticks to the wings.

That’s all. In fact, this version seems simpler, right? Some people claim that the wings cooked in the oven taste better. But frying in the pan is a better option if you are pressed for time, and the guests must arrive at any moment.

Of course, the choice also depends on the taste of each of us.
