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
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry.
- In a mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken wings and mix thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top; grease the rack with olive oil.
- Arrange the marinated wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Reserve some marinade for later.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, brushing with reserved marinade halfway through.
- For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 3-5 minutes if desired.
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving warm.
