Brown Sugar Pineapple Wings Chicken (Print Version)

Chicken wings glazed with pineapple, brown sugar, ginger, and soy sauce, oven-baked to golden tenderness.

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats

→ Marinade and Sauce

02 - 1/2 cup pineapple juice
03 - 1/4 cup soy sauce
04 - 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
05 - 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
06 - 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
07 - 1/4 cup pineapple chunks
08 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
09 - 2 tablespoons water
10 - Salt, to taste
11 - Black pepper, to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar dissolves.
03 - Add chicken wings to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
04 - Arrange marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and the skin is golden.
05 - While the wings bake, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan over medium heat. Add pineapple chunks and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually pour in the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously, and cook until the sauce is thickened.
06 - Remove wings from oven. Transfer them to a serving bowl and toss thoroughly with the warm pineapple sauce. Serve immediately, garnished as desired.

# Notes:

01 - For extra caramelization, broil the wings for an additional 1 to 2 minutes after baking.
