Method

Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a greased wire rack on top.
Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the greased wire rack and bake for 25-30 minutes.
For extra crispiness, switch your oven to broil and broil the wings for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Allow the wings to rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauces.
