These baked maple wings are a fantastic wing for a party. Any party. Or the big game. They are easy to make and come out tasting absolutely fantastic. If you make the recipe as stated the wings are slightly sweet, with a slight hint of spiciness. They are impossible to stop eating. The skin doesn’t get crunchy but it has a nice bite to it. Not ‘weird’ like some baked wings can get.
Make It Several Ways
The beauty of the recipe for these baked maple wings is that you can make a minor change or two and have slightly different wings. That’s what makes these so great for a party. You can make several batches at once, letting your guests decide what variation they prefer.
For a spicy version add more pepper flake or add some hot sauce. For a more Buffalo-inspired version, add a cup of Buffalo sauce. The sauce recipe is very flexible.
Twist And Turn
As easy as these wings are to make, make sure you don’t ignore the instructions to turn them every 20 minutes during the first part of the cook. During the second part, where you’re cooking them using higher heat, definitely don’t ignore the wings for long. They’ll get golden brown quick. A little color is great. But don’t burn them!

- Combine all of the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and pour over the wings. Turn the wings to coat well.
- Bake the wings for 1 hours, turning every 20 minutes.
- Turn the oven up to 425 F.
- Bake the wings for up to another 45 minutes, turning every 15 minutes. You don't want the wings to burn. You want a nice golden color to them.
