Ingredients
To create these delicious wings, you’ll need the following ingredients:
For the Chicken Wings:
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Marinade:
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/2 cup fresh pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
For Garnish:
- Sliced green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Fresh pineapple chunks (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a large mixing bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, fresh pineapple juice, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated. This marinade will imbue the chicken wings with a sweet and tangy flavor.
Step 2: Marinate the Wings
Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, though marinating overnight will yield even better flavor.
Step 3: Bake and Serve
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated wings on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. For an added touch, toss in some fresh pineapple chunks for a tropical flair. Serve hot and enjoy your Sticky Pineapple-Teriyaki Chicken Wings!
