Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-safe wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with nonstick spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well blended.
Place the chicken wings into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are well coated. Save the remaining marinade in the refrigerator for later use as a glaze. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate the wings in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Remove the wings from the marinade and arrange them on the prepared wire rack. Discard the used marinade.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
While the wings are baking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering marinade. Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a glaze.
When the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and brush them generously with the prepared glaze.
Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter and sprinkle them with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish. Serve immediately.
