Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup spicy BBQ sauce

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup milk
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
How to Make Spicy BBQ Chicken Wings with Mashed Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
- While the wings are baking, place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash until creamy and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the spicy BBQ sauce until well coated.
- Serve the wings hot alongside a generous scoop of creamy mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crispy wings, consider broiling them for the last few minutes of cooking.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet; this allows for even cooking and crispiness.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by choosing a BBQ sauce that matches your taste preferences.
Easy Variations
- Try adding a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the BBQ sauce for an extra kick.
- Swap out russet potatoes for Yukon Golds for a creamier texture.
- Experiment with different BBQ sauces, such as honey BBQ or teriyaki, for unique flavor profiles.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh coleslaw for a crunchy side.
- Corn on the cob for a sweet bite.
- A simple garden salad to balance the meal.
- Celery sticks with ranch dressing for a classic pairing.
