Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg chicken wings
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 spring onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Pat wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Combine marinade: In a large bowl, mix brown sugar, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and olive oil until smooth.
- Marinate wings: Add wings to the bowl and toss until fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Arrange wings: Place wings in a single layer on the baking tray, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Bake wings for 25–30 minutes, brushing with extra marinade halfway through.
- Check doneness: Cut into the thickest wing to ensure juices run clear. Bake an additional 5 minutes if necessary.
- Broil for caramelization (optional): Place under the grill for 2–3 minutes until golden and sticky.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped spring onions on top. Serve hot.
Notes
For a spicier version, add chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the marinade.
Double the sauce if you prefer saucier wings.
Can be paired with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
