Ingrédients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 Tbsp baking powder (for extra crispiness)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch + 1 Tbsp water (slurry for thickening)
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
- Garnishes: toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and fresh pineapple chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. Toss wings with olive oil, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Oven Method: Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through. Air Fryer Method: Air fry at 390°F (199°C) for 25 minutes, shaking halfway through for even crispiness.
- Meanwhile, make the pineapple-teriyaki sauce. In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and whisk until thickened and glossy (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Once wings are golden and crisp, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm pineapple-teriyaki sauce over the wings and toss until fully coated. Optional: Return glazed wings to the oven for 5 minutes to caramelize the sauce further.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and fresh pineapple chunks if desired. Serve immediately — best enjoyed warm and sticky!
Notes
For extra heat, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce. These wings can also be grilled for a smoky twist!
