Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
Glaze Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat the Oven or Grill: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill for medium heat. This ensures even cooking and crispy skin on the chicken wings.
- Cook the Wings: If using an oven, place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and caramelized. For grilling, cook the wings for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Glaze and Serve: Once the wings are cooked, brush them with the remaining marinade and return them to the oven or grill for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize the glaze. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh garlic and ginger for the best flavor.
- Don’t Skip Marinating: Marinating the wings enhances their flavor and tenderness, making all the difference.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the wings are fully cooked.
- Let Them Rest: Allow the wings to rest for a few minutes after cooking for juicier meat.
- Serve with Extra Sauce: Keep some extra glaze on the side for dipping; it’s a crowd-pleaser!
