Instructions
Creating these delicious Brown Sugar Pineapple Wings is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, pineapple juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
3. Marinate the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a large resealable bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).
4. Arrange Wings on Baking Sheet: Remove the wings from the marinade and place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for later use.
5. Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the wings and brush them with the reserved marinade.
6. Caramelize the Wings: Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. An internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) is ideal.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven. If desired, garnish with fresh pineapple chunks and chopped green onions for an added touch.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Let the wings cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed hot!
