Brown Sugar Pineapple Wings Chicken
Ingredients:
-
2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
-
1 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
-
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
-
1/4 cup soy sauce
-
1/4 cup pineapple chunks (optional)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp ginger, grated or minced
-
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
-
1 tsp chili flakes or sriracha (optional for heat)
-
1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry for thickening)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
2 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive oil)
-
Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
-
Prep the wings:
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper. -
Make the marinade/sauce:
In a bowl, mix pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, vinegar, and chili flakes (if using). -
Marinate (optional):
If you have time, marinate the wings in half the sauce for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the fridge. If not, you can cook immediately. -
Cook the wings:
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add wings and cook until golden brown and mostly cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Turn frequently. -
Add sauce:
Pour the remaining sauce into the pan with the wings. Add pineapple chunks if using. Bring to a simmer. -
Thicken sauce:
Mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour into the pan, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and coats the wings nicely. -
Final touches:
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, making sure wings are fully cooked and sticky with sauce. -
Serve:
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice or your favorite side.
