Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings. If desired, separate the drumettes and wingettes at the joint.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.

Step 3

Add the chicken wings to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared rack.

Step 6

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.

Step 7

While the wings are baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 8

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the simmering marinade. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 9

After 30 minutes of baking, brush the wings with the thickened marinade. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and slightly caramelized.

Step 10

Remove the wings from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside steamed rice or your favorite sides. Enjoy your Hawaiian chicken wings!
