Sweet & Spicy Maple-Sriracha Baked Chicken Wings

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)

Pat Wings Dry for Crispiness 🍗
Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the chicken wings before baking; moisture prevents browning and crispy skin, which is essential for this glaze to properly adhere and caramelize.
Balance Your Glaze Temperature ⚖️
Add the maple-sriracha glaze only in the final 10-15 minutes of baking to prevent burning; the sugars in maple syrup and brown sugar caramelize quickly and can char if exposed to heat too long.
Arrange Wings on Elevated Racks 📍
Place wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet instead of directly on the pan; this allows heat to circulate underneath for even crisping on all sides without flipping.
Toss Before Final Glaze 🥢
Pre-toss partially cooked wings with a light coating of the glaze halfway through baking, then add a final coat 5 minutes before finishing for deeper flavor penetration and glossy coating.
Taste and Adjust Spice Level 🌶️
Mix your glaze 15 minutes before use and taste it; if sriracha dominates, add more maple syrup; if too sweet, increase sriracha—personal heat tolerance varies significantly and adjustment ensures perfect balance.
