Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cleaned chicken wings with extra virgin olive oil, On Everything All-Purpose Blend, smoked paprika, and sea salt. Stir in the sliced apples until everything is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes, preferably overnight.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick foil.
  3. Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about an inch apart. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the pure maple syrup, cooked apples, ground cinnamon, dried thyme, and ground allspice. Stir and bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Mix cornstarch with warm water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the glaze thickens.
  6. Once baked, drizzle or pour the glaze over the wings, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  7. Let the wings cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot!
