Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
- 2 Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt and black pepper until well-coated.
Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the wings are baking, prepare the pineapple glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar. Heat over medium-high heat, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the saucepan with the pineapple glaze to thicken it. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the chicken wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm pineapple glaze over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
Return the glazed wings to the baking sheet and broil on high for 2–3 minutes to caramelize the glaze slightly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the wings from the oven and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve warm and enjoy these sweet and tangy pineapple chicken wings!
