1. Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with an oven-safe rack. Spray rack with cooking spray or lightly oil it.
2. Cut chicken wings into drums and flats. Remove wing tips if desired and discard or save for another use.
3. In a large bowl combine the baking powder, salt, chili powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Add wings to bowl and toss to coat. Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared rack.
4. Bake wings in 250°F oven for 30 minutes. Without opening oven, increase heat to 425°F and bake until wings are browned and cooked through, 40 to 50 minutes.
5. Measure BBQ sauce into a large bowl. Use tongs to carefully dislodge wings from rack if they are stuck in places, and transfer wings to the bowl of BBQ sauce. Toss to coat. Serve immediately.
