Creating Pineapple Cowboy Candy Chicken Wings is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top.
2. Prepare Chicken Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely. Season with salt and black pepper.
3. Make Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and sliced jalapeños.
4. Marinate Wings: Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. For best results, let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. However, if you’re short on time, you can skip this step.
5. Arrange on Rack: Place the marinated wings in a single layer on the wire rack over the baking sheet.
6. Bake: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
7. Glaze: In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the wings with additional marinade for an extra layer of flavor.
8. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create mouthwatering wings that are sure to impress!
