Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a wire rack over a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure the skin becomes extra crispy during baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the wings and olive oil to the bowl, tossing vigorously until every wing is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, leaving space between each piece for air circulation.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and the skin is crisp.
Remove the wings from the oven and immediately toss them in a clean bowl with the BBQ sauce until thoroughly glazed.
Serve warm and enjoy the perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors.
