Description
Experience the sweet and spicy flavors of these Pineapple Cowboy Candy Chicken Wings, marinated and baked for a crispy finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs chicken wings
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 jalapeños, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, and black pepper in a separate bowl. Whisk until the brown sugar dissolves.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top, lightly greased with olive oil.
- Remove the wings from the marinade and place them on the wire rack. Reserve the marinade for glazing.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, brushing with reserved marinade halfway through.
- Broil for the last 3-5 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Let wings rest for a few minutes before serving, garnished with additional chopped jalapeños if desired.
Notes
These wings are perfect for game days, barbecues, and family gatherings. Adjust jalapeños for desired heat level.
