Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Optional garnish: sliced green onions or sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top for even cooking.
- Prepare the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to help the glaze stick. Arrange them on the wire rack in a single layer.
- Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Bake the wings: Place wings in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Apply the glaze: Remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with the pineapple glaze. Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, basting once more halfway, until wings are sticky, caramelized, and cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer wings to a serving plate and garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately while hot and sticky.
