Description
Sweet, tangy, and sticky Brown Sugar Pineapple Wings coated in a caramelized glaze made with pineapple juice, brown sugar, and soy sauce—perfect for parties, game days, or casual dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice or crushed pineapple
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, pineapple juice (or crushed pineapple), soy sauce, minced garlic, granulated sugar, oil, and black pepper until smooth.
- Toss the wings in half of the glaze and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Arrange wings on a foil-lined baking sheet, spaced evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from oven, brush with remaining glaze, and turn the wings over.
- Return to oven and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, brushing with glaze halfway through, until caramelized and cooked through.
- Let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to settle and glaze to set.
Notes
- Add sriracha or chili flakes to glaze for spicy version.
- Use teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds for a twist.
- Grill the wings instead of baking for a smoky flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in oven or air fryer for best results.
