Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top.

2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.

3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.

4. Bake the wings for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.

5. While the wings are baking, mix together the maple syrup, crumbled bacon, and ranch seasoning in a bowl.

6. After 30 minutes, remove the wings from the oven and brush the maple bacon ranch mixture generously over each wing.

7. Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and become sticky.
