Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, combine maple syrup, hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until fully coated.

Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.

While the wings bake, prepare the glaze by simmering any leftover marinade in a saucepan over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until thickened.

Remove the wings from the oven and toss them in the thickened glaze until well coated.

Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter.

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with celery sticks on the side.

Enjoy your sweet and spicy maple glazed hot wings!
