A little bit sweet, a little bit spicy – these Maple Mustard Grilled Chicken Wings will be the star of your backyard bbq!

We officially have summer fever here at the Taste and Tell household. We have made the summer bucket list, have been trying to plan a few small getaways, and have been sleeping in and staying up late. I know we are only a couple weeks into summer break, but it sure does feel good to relax a little bit!!

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to spend the evenings al fresco, dining and cooking in the back yard. The sun is a little too direct and hot with our current setup right now to sit outside when it’s dinnertime (I’m working on a solution to that) but I cannot stop grilling. Ok, the truth is that I love to grill year round, but once the weather gets warmer, that’s all I want to do!!

 
 

 
 
So I knew I wanted to grill one night for dinner, and then a box showed up at my front door that cemented my decision. If you know me, you will know that I’m a mustard fanatic. You will never find just one variety in my fridge – always multiple – and you can now add 2 more varieties. French’s mustard has come out with two new flavors of mustard. French’s Sweet Yellow Mustard, that has a touch of brown sugar, and French’s Spicy Yellow Mustard, which has a little kick from cayenne pepper.

Both of French’s new mustards are gluten free and fat free, and only contain a few, simple ingredients. And I love that you can take a normal recipe that would call for yellow mustard and sweeten it up, or spice it up, all by just simply changing the mustard.
 
 

 
 
As much as I love mustard on a hot dog or on a ham sandwich, I’m here to show you today that mustard goes way beyond the ordinary. Today, I’m bringing you wings. Grilled wings. With a touch of sweet and a touch of spice.

The ingredient list for these grilled chicken wings is short and simple. Maple syrup (the real deal), mustard, soy sauce and a touch of French’s Worcestershire sauce. And of course, the wings! You can choose to either make them even sweeter with the French’s Sweet Yellow Mustard or add a little spice with the French’s Spicy Yellow Mustard. I went with the spicy to balance out the sweet a little, and it was a great choice.
 
 

 
 
I was really intimidated with grilling wings the first time I tried them, but they are so super simple, and grill up in about 25 minutes. Just make sure you keep a look out for any hot spots, because the wings can get over-charred in just a moment. Once the wings are grilled, you’ll coat them in even more of the sauce that you have reduced and thickened just slightly.

When I went to serve these, I realized that I really needed something for us to dip them in – we are dippers, after all! Since I love honey mustard, I decided to do a maple mustard sauce and it was just perfect for the wings.

I have also put together a little video if you’d like to see how to make these delicious wings. Find the video at the bottom of the post! They are so simple and perfect for summer grilling!!

A little bit sweet, a little bit spicy - these Maple Mustard Grilled Chicken Wings will be the star of your backyard bbq!

Serves: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Wings

• ½ cup pure maple syrup
• ¼ cup French’s Spicy Mustard
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• dash of French's Worcestershire sauce
• 5 lbs chicken wings, separated at the joint, tips removed
• salt and pepper
• chopped chives

Maple Mustard Dipping Sauce

• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup French’s Spicy Mustard
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

1. Lightly grease a grill with vegetable oil, then preheat to medium heat. In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, French’s mustard, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Pour half of the sauce into a microwave safe bowl.
2. Season the wings with salt and pepper. Place the wings on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
3. Using the small bowl of sauce, brush the wings with half of the sauce. Grill for 10 more minutes, then flip and brush with the remaining sauce. Continue to grill for another 5 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through.
4. Meanwhile, microwave the remaining sauce until slightly thickened, a minute or two. Alternately, pour the sauce into a small saucepan and cook, just until slightly thickened.
5. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the dipping sauce. Refrigerate until needed.
6. Once the wings are cooked, place in a large bowl. Pour the thickened sauce over the wings and toss to coat. Serve topped with the chives and with the dipping sauce.
