A delightful twist on classic chicken wings, combining tangy pineapple with a sweet and savory glaze.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Line a baking tray with foil and lightly grease it.
Using foil makes cleanup easier.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the tray.
Space the wings apart to allow even cooking.
Bake the wings for 25 minutes, turning halfway through.
Turning the wings ensures they cook evenly.
In a saucepan, combine the pineapple, ketchup, soy sauce, dry mustard, cornstarch, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and onion.
Mix well to avoid lumps from the cornstarch.
Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
Keep stirring to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Lowering the temperature prevents the sauce from burning.
Pour half of the sauce over the wings and bake for 20 minutes.
Ensure the wings are evenly coated with the sauce.
Turn the wings, pour the remaining sauce over them, and bake for another 20 minutes.
Turning the wings ensures they are fully coated and cooked.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a side of your choice, like rice or salad.
