Brown Sugar Pineapple Wings Recipe
This Brown Sugar Pineapple Wings Recipe is sweet, tangy and perfectly crispy.
Ingredients
- Chicken wings – 1 kg about 12–14 wings
- Brown sugar – ½ cup
- Pineapple juice – ½ cup
- Soy sauce – 2 tablespoons
- Olive oil – 1 tablespoon
- Garlic – 2 cloves minced
- Salt – ½ teaspoon
- Black pepper – ½ teaspoon
- Red chili flakes – optional ¼ teaspoon
- Fresh parsley – for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Wings
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Remove excess moisture for crispier wings.
Season the Wings
- In a large bowl, mix wings with salt, black pepper and olive oil. Toss well to coat.
Prepare the Glaze
- In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic and optional chili flakes. Heat until smooth.
Coat the Wings
- Brush wings with half of the brown sugar pineapple glaze. Make sure each wing has an even coating.
Arrange on Tray
- Place the wings on the prepared baking tray. Leave space between wings for even cooking.
Bake the Wings
- Bake wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip halfway to cook both sides evenly.
Apply More Glaze
- Brush remaining glaze on wings. Return to oven for another 15–20 minutes. Wings should be golden and caramelized.
Check for Doneness
- Ensure wings reach internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). They should be crispy outside and juicy inside.
Serve and Garnish
- Remove wings from oven. Let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Use honey instead of brown sugar for a different sweetness.
- Add a splash of lime juice for extra tanginess.
- Grill wings instead of baking for smoky flavor.
- Toss wings in sesame seeds for crunch.
- Add pineapple chunks for extra tropical taste.
- Adjust chili flakes to make wings spicier.
