Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top. Toss the wings with oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Arrange wings skin-side up with space between each so the air circulates and the skin crisps.
- Roast the wings for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway. You will see the skin turn golden and the fat render.
Making the Glaze
- While the wings roast, make the pineapple-teriyaki glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple chunks, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let the mixture reduce and thicken for about 6–8 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to purée the mixture until smooth. Return to the saucepan and taste, adjusting sweetness and acidity as needed.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and simmer for 1–2 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in lime zest and juice.
Finishing
- When the wings are golden and cooked through, brush them with the glaze. Return to the oven for 4–6 minutes, then broil for 1–2 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
- Transfer the wings to a platter, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve hot.
Notes
For a healthier option, bake instead of frying and use less sugar. Wings can be marinated overnight for deeper flavor.
