Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- Prepare Wings: Place the chicken wings, split at joints, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and aids cleanup.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
