Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated at the joints
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup drained pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water, then stir into the saucepan along with ginger, garlic, and optional red pepper flakes; bring to a simmer until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in drained pineapple chunks and remove from heat.
- Transfer cooked wings to a bowl, pour the glaze over them, and toss to coat.
- For extra crispy wings, return them to the baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
Notes
Pat the wings dry for extra crispiness and use consistent sizes for even cooking.
