Sriracha Maple Chicken Wings
I’m usually drawn to sweet and spicy flavors, so I came up with this recipe for Sriracha Maple Chicken Wings.
I absolutely love coming up with new and creative chicken wing recipes, especially for my Traeger pellet grill smoker!
So as my husband called and said he was bringing home chicken wings, I got to looking for ideas in my fridge and pantry right away.
How to make Sriracha Maple Chicken Wings
The sauce and marinade is a mixture of maple syrup, Sriracha, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic paste and ginger paste.
Using pure maple syrup is a must here, not the processed stuff.
Whisk the sauce and marinade until evenly combined.
About a half a cup will go into a gallon size bag with four pounds of jumbo split chicken wings.
Massage the bag and place in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
Ours was a last minute meal, so mine marinated for about 3 hours.
If I planned ahead I would do them overnight.
While the wings marinated, I put the remaining sauce in a saucepan and brought it to a boil, then reduced the heat to simmer for 8 minutes.
It turned into a nice, thick glaze to brush over the wings right before serving them.
Since it was a gorgeous Saturday afternoon when we made these, we put them on the smoker.
Set the smoker or pellet grill to 250 degrees and let them go for about an hour and 15 minutes.
Then flip them and let them smoke for another hour and 15 minutes.
So two and a half hours total.
During the last half hour start brushing them with the Sriracha maple glaze on both sides.
The glaze will caramelize just like this and turn a gorgeous color 🙂
Serve with the remaining glaze on the side and be prepared to get messy!
These are for sure finger licking good!
Our neighbors came over to enjoy them with us and good thing this is a no judgement zone.
We had wing sauce all over but didn’t care one bit 🙂
