Ingredients
For the wings:
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
How to Make Maple Sriracha Crispy Wings
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is essential for getting those wings crispy!
- Prepare your wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. This will enhance the flavor and help them crisp up nicely.
- Bake the wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy!
- Mix the sauce: While the wings bake, combine the maple syrup, Sriracha, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it simmers gently, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Glaze the wings: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the warm sauce until well coated. This makes every bite full of that irresistible flavor!
- Serve immediately: Enjoy while the wings are hot. Trust me; you’ll want to dig in right away!
How to Serve Maple Sriracha Crispy Wings
Serve your wings hot off the tray, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for a pop of color. Pair them with crunchy vegetable sticks and a refreshing dip like ranch or blue cheese. They also make a great addition to a casual game day spread!
How to Store Maple Sriracha Crispy Wings
To store leftovers, place the wings in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For long-term storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes. This will help recover some of that crispy texture!
Tips to Make Maple Sriracha Crispy Wings
- Pat the wings dry before seasoning for extra crispiness.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less Sriracha to suit your taste.
- Double the sauce if you love extra sticky wings!
- Use a wire rack on the baking sheet for even better airflow around the wings.
- Let them rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the flavors.
Variation
- Gluten-Free: Substitute the soy sauce with gluten-free tamari for a delicious twist!
- Baked Cauliflower Wings: For a vegetarian option, use cauliflower florets instead of chicken wings, tossing them in the same delicious sauce.

Can I use frozen wings?
