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.
