Ingredients
-
2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
-
1 cup pineapple juice
-
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1/4 cup soy sauce
-
2 tbsp ketchup
-
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 tsp ground ginger
-
1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
-
1 tbsp cornstarch
-
1 tbsp water
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Green onions, sliced, for garnish

Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray.
-
Season chicken wings with salt and pepper. Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack.
-
Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
-
Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes.
-
Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water. Whisk into sauce and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
-
Transfer baked wings to a bowl. Pour glaze over wings and toss to coat evenly.
-
Return glazed wings to the rack. Bake for 10 more minutes to caramelize the glaze.
-
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
Notes
-
For extra heat, increase chili flakes or add sriracha to the glaze.
-
Glaze can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
