Ingredients
– 2 pounds chicken wings
– 1 cup pineapple juice
– ½ cup brown sugar
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your own Brown Sugar Pineapple Wings:
1. Marinate the Wings: In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for maximum flavor.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
4. Bake the Wings: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to ensure even browning.
5. Baste with Marinade: In the last 10 minutes of baking, brush the wings with additional marinade to enhance the glaze. Be sure to reserve some marinade for later use.
6. Broil for Extra Crispiness: If desired, switch your oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes to achieve a crispy finish. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
7. Add Fresh Pineapple: During the last few minutes of baking, add fresh pineapple chunks to the baking sheet to warm them through.
8. Garnish: Remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
9. Serve: Transfer the wings to a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining marinade.
These steps will guide you in creating these incredible wings easily and efficiently.
