Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 900 g chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- 120 ml pineapple juice
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 55 g brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 60 ml pineapple chunks
- 8 g cornstarch
- 30 ml water
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring all wings are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
- Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is golden.
- While the chicken bakes, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a smooth slurry.
- Transfer the remaining marinade to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the pineapple chunks and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Gradually pour in the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
- Remove the wings from the oven. Transfer them to a serving bowl and toss thoroughly with the warm pineapple sauce. Serve immediately, garnished as desired.
Notes
For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if you have time. Make sure to spread the wings out on the baking sheet so they can cook evenly and get nice and crispy. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar to the marinade, depending on your taste.
