Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's or your favorite)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, hot sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

      Season Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.

        Bake Wings: Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure there is space between each wing for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning the wings halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

          Glaze Wings: Remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with the spicy maple glaze, reserving some sauce for later. Return the wings to the oven and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze. Keep a close eye to avoid burning!

            Serve: Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining glaze, and garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Spicy Maple Glazed Chicken Wings with your favorite dipping sauces or sides!
