# Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 0.9 kg chicken wings, split at joints
02 - 120 ml pineapple juice
03 - 80 ml teriyaki sauce
04 - 30 ml honey
05 - 15 ml soy sauce
06 - 15 ml minced garlic
07 - 5 ml grated ginger
08 - 2.5 ml black pepper

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 200°C.
02 - Arrange the chicken wings evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
03 - Bake the wings for 25 minutes, ensuring to flip them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning.
04 - In a medium bowl, thoroughly whisk together the pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
05 - Generously brush the prepared glaze over all surfaces of the partially baked wings.
06 - Return the glazed wings to the oven and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked, and the glaze has thickened and caramelized to a sticky finish.
07 - Serve the sticky pineapple-teriyaki chicken wings hot, with any remaining sauce provided on the side for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - For crispier wings, broil them for the last 2-3 minutes, closely monitoring to prevent burning.
02 - Introduce a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture for a subtle spicy kick.
03 - To intensify the flavor, marinate the chicken wings in the sauce for a minimum of 30 minutes, or ideally, overnight.
04 - Air Fryer Variation: Cook at 190°C for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway and applying the sauce during the final 10 minutes of cooking.
05 - Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and freshly chopped green onions for an enhanced visual presentation and aromatic finish.
