One of the keys to achieving the best Maple Dijon Roasted Chicken Wings lies in the marinating process. Allowing the wings to marinate for a sufficient amount of time is crucial, as it deeply infuses the meat with flavor while also enhancing its texture. Ideally, you should aim for at least 2 hours of marinating, but for optimal results, marinating overnight in the refrigerator is highly recommended. This extended time allows the flavors from the maple syrup and Dijon mustard to permeate the chicken, creating a rich and savory profile that elevates the dish.

Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). To simplify cleanup later, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set a wire rack on top of the prepared baking sheet to promote even cooking and crispiness.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Marinate the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl containing the marinade. Gently toss the wings in the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. For optimal flavor infusion, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, though marinating for up to 2 hours is recommended.

        Arrange the Wings: Once marinated, carefully arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack. This arrangement ensures that the wings will roast evenly, allowing for that desired crispy texture.

          Roast the Wings: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the wings for 35-40 minutes. Be sure to turn them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning. The wings should emerge golden brown and crisp. For an extra crispy finish, you can broil them on high for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting. Watch them closely to prevent burning.

            Garnish and Serve: Once the wings are finished roasting, remove them from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Before serving, garnish the wings with freshly chopped parsley and, if desired, a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve them hot alongside your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful eating experience.
