Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings
12 oz pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground rosemary

Instructions

Make the maple glaze by combining maple syrup with garlic, pepper, smoked paprika, salt and rosemary in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to use.
Prepare a 350° grill fire using pecan or hickory for wood smoke.
Thaw and drain chicken wings if frozen and pat dry with paper towels.
Cook wings over indirect fire on the grill with the lid closed for about 20 minutes.
Pour 1 cup of maple glaze into a large bowl.
Remove chicken wings from grill into sauce and mix wings with the sauce to coat well.
Return wings to the grill and continue to cook with the lid closed for about 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°.
Remove from grill and serve hot or at room temperature.
