Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is golden.
While the wings are baking, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a smooth slurry.
Transfer the remaining marinade to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the pineapple chunks and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually pour in the cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens.
Remove the wings from the oven. Transfer them to a serving bowl and toss thoroughly with the warm pineapple sauce. Serve immediately, garnished as desired.

Notes

Spicy Version: Add some red pepper flakes or a chopped chili pepper to the marinade for a spicy kick.

Grilled Option: Instead of baking the wings, you can grill them over medium heat until crispy, then toss in the pineapple sauce.

Pineapple Teriyaki: Add some teriyaki sauce to the marinade for an extra layer of flavor and complexity.
