Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, trimmed and cleaned
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey, and olive oil.
- Pour half the mixture into a resealable bag with the chicken wings. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet, reserving the leftover marinade for the glaze.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
- In a small saucepan, simmer the reserved marinade with cornstarch until thickened into a glaze.
- Brush the glaze over the wings and broil for 2–3 minutes until caramelized and glossy.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, then serve warm.

- Marinating overnight gives deeper flavor.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness.
- Use fresh pineapple juice for the best taste.
- Broil briefly for an extra sticky finish.
