Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse your chicken wings under cold water, then dry them well with paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, combine wings with sea salt, paprika, and poultry seasoning; toss to coat.
  4. Generously spray a sheet pan with non-stick spray and set a cooling rack inside.
  5. Arrange the seasoned wings on the prepared pan, ensuring space between them for airflow.
  6. Bake the wings for 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through until crispy and golden.
  7. Switch to broil for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the wings further, keeping an eye on them.
  8. In a saucepan, combine barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and strawberry preserves; simmer for 5 minutes.
  9. Once wings are done, toss them in the warm sauce to coat evenly.
  10. Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries and serve immediately.
