Creating Pineapple Cowboy Candy Chicken Wings is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps for delicious results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
3. Marinate the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
4. Arrange the Wings: After marinating, remove the wings from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
5. Bake the Wings: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.
6. Prepare the Glaze: While the wings are baking, pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
7. Glaze the Wings: After the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush them generously with the thickened glaze.
8. Return to Oven: Place the glazed wings back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
9. Garnish: Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh pineapple chunks and chopped green onions.
10. Serve: Transfer the wings to a serving platter and enjoy!
