I admit it, I do sometimes dream of deep-fried chicken wings. I don’t dream about baked chicken wings. Or I didn’t until I made these baked maple glazed wings. I didn’t think the flavors of the simple seasoning and the easy glaze would work. I didn’t think I’d like them. In reality, I didn’t like them. I loved them. These are some of the tastiest wings I’ve had. I’ll make these again and again.
Flavor Galore
These baked maple glazed wings would be perfect for a party. You could make a big batch. They aren’t spicy, so they won’t scare off anyone. They’re lightly sweet. And they’re different. The oregano and nutmeg make for a fantastic marriage with the reduced balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. Honestly, I would make a double batch of the sauce. What’s the worst thing that can happen? That you’ll have some leftover for another batch of wings?!??!
