Sweet and tangy Brown Sugar Pineapple Wings featuring tender baked chicken wings glazed with a luscious pineapple-brown sugar sauce, perfect for a flavorful appetizer or game day snack.

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings, split at the joints

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry, optional for thicker glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent wings from sticking.
  2. Bake the Wings: Spread the chicken wings out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through baking to achieve even browning and a lightly golden finish.
  3. Make the Glaze: While the wings bake, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the sauce begins to simmer. If a thicker glaze is desired, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce becomes glossy and slightly thickened.
  4. Coat and Caramelize: Remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with the prepared glaze. Return the wings to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, basting them with glaze halfway through, until they are sticky, caramelized, and richly coated with the sauce.
  5. Serve Hot: Serve the wings immediately while warm, providing extra glaze on the side for dipping to maximize their sweet and savory flavor.

Notes

  • You can prepare the glaze ahead of time and refrigerate; reheat before glazing wings.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the glazed wings for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Adjust soy sauce and sugar amounts to taste if a less salty or less sweet glaze is preferred.
  • Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for a creamy contrast.
