Maple Chicken Wings are a popular dish in North America, especially during the fall and winter months. They are commonly served as an appetizer, snack, or main course at parties and gatherings. The maple syrup in the marinade gives the wings a sweet, sticky glaze that is irresistible. The soy sauce and teriyaki sauce add savory umami flavors to the dish, balancing out the sweetness. You can easily customize the marinade by adjusting the levels of salt, sweetness, and spiciness to your liking.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	In a mixing bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and pure maple syrup.
3.	Place the chicken wings in a large baking dish, and pour the marinade over the wings.
4.	Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
5.	Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions or sesame seeds if desired.
