Revamped Recipe:
Get ready for some finger-lickin' good Maple-Mustard Chicken Wings that'll make your tailgating experience extraordinary! This delightful dish marries maple syrup's sweetness with mustard's tangy kick. Here's the lowdown:
Essentials:
- 3 pounds chicken wings, split into drumettes and midsections (skip the wing tips)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- Vegetable oil, for grill seasoning
Seasoning guys:
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Game plan:
- Mix your seasonings in a large container or resealable bag, then toss your chicken wings in until well-coated. Let 'em chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- Stir the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, vinegar, and soy sauce in a small, nonreactive bowl. Keep it handy.
- Heat up your outdoor grill to medium-high (375°F to 425°F). Rub your grate with oil-soaked paper towels, then lay your wings on (cook 'em in batches if needed). Cover and cook until the skin turns opaque, about 10 minutes.
- Brush your wings with the maple-mustard mixture and continue cooking, flipping and basting occasionally, until they're golden brown, no longer pink, and the skin is crispy (approximately 10-15 minutes more).
With just the right balance of flavor, these EPIC wings are a no-brainer for your tailgating festivities! Have a ton of napkins on-the-ready for those sticky fingers!
