    Ingredients for Sous Vide BBQ Chicken Wings

    All you need for this easy BBQ chicken wings recipe are 12 chicken wings, a little bit of salt and garlic powder, and your favorite BBQ sauce.

    If you’re looking for something sweet, try a Memphis-style BBQ sauce or if you’re looking for something a bit more smoky, you can try a Kansas City-style BBQ sauce.

    How to Make Sous Vide BBQ Chicken Wings

    Step 1. First, preheat the sous vide bath to 145.5 degrees F.

    Step 5. After the wings cook in the sous vide bath, it’s time to slather on some BBQ sauce. First remove the wings from the bag and pat dry with a paper towel.

    Then add BBQ sauce to the sous vide wings by either mixing the wings with the BBQ sauce in a bowl or brushing on barbecue to the wings individually.

    Finally, set the wings evenly spaced out on a baking sheet rimmed with parchment paper.

    FAQs

    What type of BBQ sauce should I use?

    That’s totally up to you! Everyone has different BBQ sauce preferences, and this sous vide BBQ chicken wings recipe works perfectly with any of your favorites. Try a Memphis-style sauce if you want something sweet, a Kansas City-style sauce for something smoky, or even a Carolina-style sauce for more of a vinegar base.

    Can I use frozen chicken?

    Yes, you can use frozen chicken for this BBQ wings recipe. If cooking from frozen (not thawed out), then add 30 minutes to your overall sous vide cook time.

    Final Tips for Making Sous Vide BBQ Chicken Wings

    • When prepping the BBQ chicken wings for cooking, you can add all the ingredients (wings, salt, garlic powder) to the bag at one time or mix in a bowl then transfer to the bag.
    • To ensure everything cooks evenly in the sous vide bath, arrange the wings in a single layer in the ziplock or vacuum-sealed bag.
    • Love using an air fryer to finish sous vide dishes? See how to sous vide then air fry chicken wings.

    I’m passionate about sous vide cooking, and maybe that’s why Sip Bite Go has become one of the most popular sous vide blogs on the web. This food hobby, turned blog, has recently become a sous vide cookbook.

    The Perfect Sous Vide Setup

    Everyday I’m asked, “what do you need to sous vide food?”. Here’s my answer.

    1. A sous vide machine.
      Option 1: “stick” models like the Joule, Anova, or Instant Pot Slim.
      Option 2: “multipot” models like the SousPreme or InstantPot Duo Evo Plus.
    2. Sous vide container.
      If using a sous vide “stick” model, you need something to hold the water the food cooks in, like a bucket or stockpot.
    3. Bags to cook sous vide food.
      Keep it simple and sous vide in ziplock gallon bags, or get fancy like me with a vacuum sealer setup.
    4. Nice-to-have accessories for sous vide cooking.
      – Sous vide weights to hold down food that floats.
      – Mini mason jars for desserts and sous vide egg bites.
      – Cast iron skillet to sear sous vide steaks to finish them.
    5. My sous vide cookbook with 100+ recipes.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
