Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each wing is well-coated. Cover the bowl or seal in a bag, and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  4. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a lightly greased wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer.
  5. Bake the wings for 25-30 minutes until golden-brown and crispy. Brush with reserved marinade halfway through cooking.
  6. For extra crispiness, broil the wings on high for an additional 3-5 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Allow the wings to rest on the rack for about 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Transfer wings to a serving platter and enjoy with a garden salad or creamy dip.
