These sticky pineapple-teriyaki chicken wings are a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors, making them a crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack. With a simple three-step process, you can enjoy tender, flavorful wings coated in a delicious glaze.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings, split at joints
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Bake the wings for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
3. Step 3: While the wings bake, mix pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper in a bowl. After 25 minutes, brush this sauce over the wings and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Serve hot with extra sauce on the side.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispy wings, broil them for 2-3 minutes after the final bake, watching closely to avoid burning.
• Add a pinch of chili flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
• Use fresh ginger and garlic whenever possible for a brighter flavor.
• Serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added texture and color.

Storage

Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to retain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?

Yes, but be sure to thaw them thoroughly and pat dry before baking to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.

Is it possible to grill the wings instead of baking?

Absolutely. Grill the wings over medium heat, turning frequently, and brush with the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking until sticky and caramelized.

Chicken Wings

• 2 lbs chicken wings, split at joints

Teriyaki Pineapple Glaze

• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the wings evenly and achieving crispiness.
2. Prepare Wings: Place the chicken wings, split at joints, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and aids cleanup.
3. Bake First Side: Bake the wings for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to promote even cooking and browning on both sides.
4. Make Sauce: In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the sticky glaze.
5. Glaze and Bake Again: Brush the prepared glaze generously over the partially cooked wings and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes. This step caramelizes the glaze, enhancing flavor and stickiness.
6. Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and serve hot with extra sauce on the side for dipping, making for a deliciously sticky, flavorful bite every time.

Notes

• For extra crispiness, broil the wings for 2-3 minutes after the final baking step but watch carefully to avoid burning.
• Adjust honey quantity to control sweetness according to personal preference.
• These wings can be prepared a day ahead; store glazed wings in the fridge and reheat before serving.
• Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if desired.
• Serving with fresh chopped green onions or sesame seeds adds a nice garnish and extra flavor.
