Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pound chicken wings, split at joints
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
- Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season the wings generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive or vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken wings to the hot oil and brown them on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Once the wings are browned, pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over them in the skillet. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer the wings for 30-35 minutes, turning them occasionally.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and continue cooking for 5-10 minutes, turning the wings frequently, until the sauce has reached a sticky, glossy consistency.
- Transfer the Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Wings to a serving platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve the wings hot, with any extra sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
For optimal storage and reheating, keep any leftover Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply place the wings in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
