  • 2 tablespoonswater
  • 0.25 cupchopped pineapple chunks
  • 1 tablespoonsesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoonschopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Wings: Start off by ensuring your chicken wings are dry. Use paper towels to pat them down and remove any excess moisture. This step is vital as it allows the skin to crisp up beautifully during cooking. Once they are dry, place the wings in a large bowl.
  2. Marinate the Wings: In the same bowl, add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cornstarch to the wings. Toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated in the seasoning mixture.
  3. Cook the Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 380°F (195°C). For the oven method, place the wings on a wire rack over a lined baking sheet and bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. If you opt for the air fryer, cook in batches for about 25–30 minutes.
  4. Make the Glaze: While the wings are cooking, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and chili paste in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring to a gentle simmer for around 5–7 minutes.
  5. Thicken the Sauce: Mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Slowly add it to the simmering glaze, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to a glossy finish.
  6. Add Pineapple Chunks: Add the chopped pineapple chunks to the sauce and cook for an additional minute.
  7. Toss and Serve: Once your wings are cooked, toss them in the warm glaze. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the wings in the spice mix for a few hours or overnight.
