Instructions
Creating Irresistible Brown Sugar Pineapple Wings Chicken is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, and salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for best results).
4. Bake the Wings: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the marinated wings on the sheet, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, turning the wings halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
6. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker glaze, pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until thickened. You can mix cornstarch with a little water to help thicken it further if desired.
7. Glaze the Wings: After baking, remove the wings from the oven. Brush the thickened sauce over the wings for extra flavor.
8. Broil for Extra Crispiness: For a crispy finish, switch the oven to broil. Broil the wings for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
9. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven. Garnish with fresh pineapple chunks and chopped green onions before serving.
