Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or other hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. This is your flavorful glaze.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl. Pour about half of the maple glaze over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
- Arrange the glazed chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will help them crisp up.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip each wing and brush them with the remaining glaze.
- Bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through, golden brown, and slightly crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove the wings from the oven. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For crispier wings, you can pat the wings dry with paper towels before glazing.
- If you prefer a spicier wing, add more sriracha or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
- These wings are best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or a skillet for best results.
