Description
These sticky, sweet-and-sour wings glaze up beautifully with pineapple and teriyaki — easy to pull together for game day or a crowd.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil for easier cleanup.
- Pat the wings dry with paper towels — dry skin = better browning — then arrange them in a single layer on the prepared pan.
- Roast the wings for about 25 minutes, flip each piece, then roast another 10–12 minutes until nicely browned.
- While the wings roast, whisk together the pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth.
- Pull the pan from the oven, brush the sauce liberally onto every wing, and return to the oven for 12–15 minutes so the glaze bubbles and sticks.
- If you want extra char and crunch, pop the wings under the broiler for 1–3 minutes at the end — watch them closely so they don’t burn.
- Serve immediately with any extra warmed sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Quick tips & variations
- For a smoky flavor, finish these on a hot grill instead of the oven; brush with sauce only in the final 4–5 minutes to avoid flare-ups.
- To make the glaze spicier, stir in 1/2 tsp chili flakes or a teaspoon of sriracha.
- If the glaze becomes too thick while baking, loosen it with a splash of pineapple juice before reapplying.
- Storage
- Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven or in an air fryer for a few minutes to re-crisp the skin.
