Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika.
Toss the chicken wings in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated. For extra crispiness, ensure the wings are well-dusted.
Arrange the wings on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping on all sides.
Remove the wings from the oven and immediately brush them with the spicy BBQ sauce.
Return the wings to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze.
Allow the wings to cool slightly before serving to enjoy their full flavor and crispy texture.
