  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Wings:
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, cut into drumsticks and flats
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Sauce:
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • ¼ cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Prep the Wings: Season the chicken wings with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the sauce begins to thicken (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce and continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes until the sauce thickens to a glaze consistency.
  4. Cook the Wings: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken wings and cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Glaze the Wings: Add the pineapple chunks to the sauce, then pour the sauce over the cooked chicken wings. Toss the wings in the sauce to coat them evenly.
  6. Serve: Serve the wings immediately and enjoy the sweet and savory flavors!

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more brown sugar if desired.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • These wings can also be baked in the oven if you prefer a less hands-on approach.
