  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 jalapeños, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat dry.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  5. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top; lightly grease it with olive oil.
  6. Arrange the marinated wings on the rack in a single layer. Reserve any remaining marinade.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, brushing with reserved marinade halfway through.
  8. Optional: Broil for an additional 3-5 minutes for extra crispiness.
  9. Let rest for a few moments before serving warm.
