These Maple Sriracha Glazed Chicken Wings are a perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. The addition of crispy bacon bits adds a delicious crunch to every bite.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine.
2. Place the chicken wings in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
4. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and place them on the wire rack. Reserve the marinade for later use.
5. Bake the chicken wings for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy.
6. While the chicken wings are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Remove the chicken wings from the oven and brush them with the thickened glaze.
8. Sprinkle the crispy bacon bits over the wings and garnish with chopped green onions.
9. Serve the Maple Sriracha Glazed Chicken Wings immediately and enjoy!

These wings are perfect for game days, parties, or any occasion where you want to impress your guests with a flavorful and irresistible appetizer.

Note: You can adjust the amount of sriracha sauce according to your desired level of spiciness. If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount or omit it altogether.
