Pineapple Cowboy Candy Chicken Wings
These sweet and spicy chicken wings, coated in a tangy glaze of pineapple juice and cowboy candy, are a perfect crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup cowboy candy (candied jalapeños)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish (optional) Adds color and flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, cowboy candy, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and pour the glaze over them, ensuring they are well coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until wings are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and toss in any remaining glaze.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
For extra crispy skin, toss the wings in a bit of cornstarch before adding the glaze. If marinating, let the wings sit in the glaze for an hour or more.
