Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet with rack
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Small saucepan
  • Basting brush
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple drained
  • 1/2 cup cowboy candy candied jalapeños
  • 1/4 cup cowboy candy syrup
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced

Instructions
 

  • Pat the chicken wings completely dry.
  • Remove any excess moisture with paper towels.
  • This helps them get crispy.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Toss with olive oil until coated evenly.
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place a wire rack on top.
  • Arrange wings in a single layer.
  • Don't let them touch each other.
  • Bake wings for 45 minutes total.
  • Flip them halfway through cooking time.
  • They should turn golden and crispy.
  • The skin should look beautifully browned.
  • Combine pineapple, cowboy candy, and syrup.
  • Add honey, soy sauce, and ginger.
  • Simmer in saucepan for 5 minutes.
  • Stir occasionally until it thickens slightly.
  • Brush the sauce over hot wings.
  • Or toss wings in a bowl.
  • Coat them generously with the sauce.
  • Serve immediately while they're hot.
  • Garnish with extra cowboy candy if desired.

Notes

  • Always dry your wings thoroughly first.
  • Wet wings won't get crispy enough.
  • Use a wire rack for better airflow.
  • This makes wings crispy on all sides.
  • Don't overcrowd your baking sheet ever.
  • Give each wing plenty of space.
  • Make extra sauce for dipping later.
  • People always want more sauce available.
  • Adjust the cowboy candy to taste.
  • Add more for extra heat lovers.
  • Less for mild flavor preferences instead.
  • Fresh ginger makes a big difference.
  • Don't skip this important ingredient here.
