Crispy chicken wings baked to perfection and glazed with a sticky, sweet, and spicy maple sriracha sauce. Perfect for game day or a quick, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • Β½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • β…“ cup (80 ml) 100% pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • Β½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss wings in a large bowl with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, leaving space between each wing. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through (around 20 minutes) to brown both sides evenly.
  4. While the wings bake, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha, melted butter, garlic powder, and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Once the wings are done and crispy, transfer them to a large clean bowl and immediately toss with the glaze until evenly coated. Serve hot.

Notes

Dry the wings thoroughly before coating with baking powder to ensure crispiness. Toss wings with glaze while still hot for best adhesion. For extra crispiness after glazing, broil wings for 1-2 minutes watching carefully to avoid burning. Substitute sriracha with milder chili sauce or honey for less heat. Use gluten-free baking powder and coconut oil for gluten-free and dairy-free versions.
