Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 0.3333 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow for even cooking and airflow.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the maple sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the maple sauce over the wings, tossing to coat them evenly.
Return the glazed wings to the wire rack and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sticky, flavorful Maple Chicken Wings!
