Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Cover the rack with another sheet of foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Use a knife to poke holes all over the foil.

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.

Season the chicken wings on both sides with salt.

Place the maple syrup, brown sugar, and Sriracha in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

Place the chicken wings in the bowl. Using a rubber spatula, toss the wings to coat in the maple-Sriracha glaze.

Arrange the chicken wings on the foil-covered wire rack. Spoon any remaining maple-Sriracha glaze over the chicken wings.

Bake the chicken wings on middle rack of oven until browned and crisp, 45-50 minutes.

Check to see that chicken wings are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow the chicken wings to cool on the roasting rack for 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Wing Patting Technique 🧻
Always pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure a crispy exterior and better sauce adhesion.
Glaze Layering Magic 🥢
Apply the maple-Sriracha glaze in multiple thin layers during baking, allowing each layer to caramelize slightly for deeper flavor complexity.
Rack Positioning Pro 🔥
Use the middle oven rack and rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking to guarantee even browning and prevent burning of the sweet glaze.
Sriracha Heat Balance 🌶️
Adjust Sriracha quantity based on personal heat preference, but keep maple syrup ratio consistent to maintain the critical sweet-spicy balance.
Wing Spacing Secret 📏
Leave at least half an inch between wings on the baking sheet to allow hot air circulation and prevent steaming, ensuring maximum crispiness.
