Ingredients
- 2 lb (907 g) s chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) packed brown sugar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced fine
- 1 tsp (5 ml) fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) pineapple chunks, drained
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) cornstarch
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) cold water
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F and cover a big baking tray with parchment paper to stop the wings from sticking and to simplify cleaning.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until the brown sugar is fully dissolved, as this blend of sweet and savory flavors is key to the wings’ taste.
- Add the chicken wings to the mixture, ensuring each one is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes; if you can, leave it overnight for better results.
- Place the marinated wings on the prepared baking tray in a single layer. Season them with salt and pepper, then bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until they are golden, crispy, and fully cooked.
- While baking, combine the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl, stirring until it’s smooth. This will act as a thickener for the glaze.
- Transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan, bringing it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the pineapple chunks and gradually incorporate the cornstarch mixture, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the wings are ready, move them to a large serving dish and pour the warm, sticky pineapple glaze over them. Mix until the wings are thoroughly coated, and serve while they are hot and shiny.
Notes
- Ensure the brown sugar is fully dissolved in the pineapple juice and soy sauce for a smooth marinade.nMarinate the chicken wings overnight to let the garlic and ginger flavors fully develop.nGradually add the cornstarch mixture to the glaze for a smooth, glossy finish.
