Ingredients

Scale

To kick things off, let’s gather our ingredients. This recipe combines simple items you might already have in your pantry with a few exciting additions. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh pineapple slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt in a bowl and whisk together.
  2. Marinate the chicken wings in the mixture for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  5. Remove wings from marinade and place in a single layer on the rack; bake for 30-40 minutes, turning halfway through.
  6. Brush with reserved marinade in the last 5 minutes of baking.

Notes
