Smoked Maple Braised Chicken Wings
Ingredients
Rub Ingredients
1/4 cup Anderson’s Pure Maple Sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sea salt
1 Tbsp. black pepper
1 Tbsp. sweet smoked paprika
1 tsp. dry hot mustard
1 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Instructions
Set your Grill using a mix of Hickory and Maple Wood Pellets to 375°F. In a large salad bowl toss 3 lbs. chicken wings with the rub , enough to coat lightly (most of the flavor will come from the maple syrup during cooking.
In a disposable lasagna pan, put 2 to 3 cups of Anderson’s Pure Maple Syrup + 1 to 2 Tbsp. of your favorite hot sauce (I use Frank’s Red Hot) and a half stick of melted butter. Place wings in Maple Syrup mixture in lasagna pan.
Transfer lasagna pan (uncovered) to preheated grill for approx. 1 hour, tossing wings occasionally. Bring the temperature up to 400-425°F at the half hour mark, as it will give you a thicker glaze on the wings. Sauce will darken, thicken and stick to wings during cooking.

Maple Glazed Chicken
Ingredients
1/2 cup Anderson’s Pure Maple Syrup
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1 – 1/2 lbs chicken pieces (chicken thighs recommended)
Instructions
Put all in a zip-top bag and marinate for 1 hour. Remove chicken and grill over medium coals for about 20 minutes total or until internal temp is over 165 °F. Flip chicken every 5 minutes.
While chicken is cooking, bring the leftover marinade to a simmer in a small sauce pan then brush it on the chicken during the last two flips to form a good glaze.
