How to Make It

Alright, friend, here’s where we roll up our sleeves and get messy. Start by preheating your oven to a sultry 400°F. While it’s warming up, gather a bunch of chicken wings (you’re gonna need napkins). Mix the glaze — a medley of pineapple juice, brown sugar (watch it doesn’t clump like a pillow), soy sauce, and a whisper of garlic. Toss those wings like you’re at a 90’s house party, making sure every single one is coated in that juicy goodness. Place them on a baking sheet, in, out, shake it all about for about 35 minutes till they’re golden brown. And voilà, you’ve got yourself a little paradise on a plate.

Ingredient Notes

– Pineapple Juice: This is the star of the show, obviously. Fresh is best, but let’s not pretend we all keep pineapples lying around for fun.
– Brown Sugar: Oh baby, it’s gonna make everything caramelize beautifully. Don’t skip this. Trust the sugar.
– Soy Sauce: Adds depth and a little umami oomph. Just… don’t forget it. I did once. Never again.

Recipe Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. In a bowl, mix pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic.
3. Coat chicken wings in the glaze mixture.
4. Place wings on a baking sheet.
5. Bake for 35 minutes until golden brown.

Storage Tips

If you somehow end up with leftovers, throw them in a sealed container in the fridge. Ideal for a cold morning snack when you’re half asleep. Not judging here.

Variations and Substitutions

Out of brown sugar? Go rogue with honey or maple syrup. And if you’re feeling adventurous, add a sprinkle of crushed chili flakes for a spicy twist. No rules here.
