STICKY MAPLE PEPPER GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS

Sticky Maple Pepper Glazed Chicken Wings image

This is one of my favorite appetizers to make over the holidays! The coarse ground pepper cuts the sweetness of the maple syrup by adding just the right amount of heat. These chicken wings are best fresh out of the oven (they are nice and crispy), but they are also delicious if made ahead and kept warm in a slow cooker. -Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta
