Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut off chicken wing tips and snip the skin between the joints.
- Place the chicken wings in a disposable large baking pan.
- Add the maple syrup, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the wings.
- Toss to coat the wings evenly with the marinade.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until cooked through and crispy.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken wings in the sauce for a few hours or overnight if possible. If you're out of teriyaki sauce, a mix of soy sauce and honey can work as a substitute. For a kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or cayenne pepper to the marinade. Always make sure your wings are fully thawed before cooking for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these maple chicken wings with a side of carrot and celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese. They pair beautifully with Cheesy Broccoli & Rice for a more filling meal. For a fun twist, try them as a topping on a salad or in a wrap with fresh veggies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wings soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings. However, ensure they are fully thawed before marinating and baking. This will help the wings cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the marinade better.
Can I make these wings in an air fryer?
Absolutely! Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and cook the wings in a single layer for about 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. This method will give you crispy wings without the need for deep frying.
How can I make these wings spicier?
If you like heat, consider adding chili flakes or your favorite hot sauce to the marinade. You can also toss the baked wings in a spicy sauce before serving for an extra kick. Experiment with different levels of spice to find your favorite balance.
