Maple BBQ Chicken Wings are beyond delicious to make on the grill with plenty of smoky goodness and then slathered in our amazing homemade Maple BBQ Sauce. The whole recipe including the sauce can be made in under an hour. Perfect for game day, parties and backyard cookouts.

Coming up with new grilling sauce combinations is our kind of fun. A few weeks ago we made Maple BBQ Sauce and slathered it over baby back ribs. It was one of the most amazing recipes to come off of our grill and we just had to try it on some wings.
