Ingredients

  • 12 whole chicken wings
  • vegetable oil
  • ½ cup maple syrup*
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 green onion, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Pat the wings dry with paper towels.** Brush the wings with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on it. Set the wings on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 40 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile combine maple syrup, juice, butter, salt, red pepper flakes and cloves in a saucepan. Simmer the mix until thickened (15 to 20 minutes).
  5. Take the wings out of the oven, brush with the glaze, return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes. Check that the internal temperature of the wings has reached 165 degrees F. to make sure the wings are fully cooked.
  6. Spoon more glaze on, then sprinkle with green onion (if using) and serve.

Notes

  • *For best results, be sure to use real maple syrup for this recipe and not any imitations.
  • **It's really important to dry the wings well otherwise they won't get crispy.
