Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the wings generously with salt and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the wire rack.
  3. Bake the wings for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and chili flakes (if using).
  5. Bring the glaze to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  6. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Whisk this slurry into the simmering glaze.
  7. Simmer the glaze for about 5 minutes, or until thickened to a syrupy consistency.
  8. When wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the pineapple glaze over the wings and toss well to coat every piece evenly.
  9. Return the glazed wings to the wire rack and bake for another 10 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize beautifully.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
